# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
03 - ½ teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar
06 - 4 large eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-Ins
08 - 1 cup toffee bits
09 - 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring even coverage to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough texture.
06 - Gently fold toffee bits and chopped nuts into the batter until evenly distributed throughout.
07 - Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
08 - Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto wire racks. Cool completely before frosting or serving.
