Total Time: 8 hrs Preparation Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

• 18 ounces chocolate cake mix (also oil, eggs, and water as directed)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 8 ounces toffee pieces

Recipe

• 1 cake: prepare cake mix as directed, adding 1 cup sour cream to batter before mixing.
• 2 pour into two round cake pans and bake as directed on box. cool layers thoroughly.
• 3 (for frosting: place a mixing bowl and beater into the refrigerator ahead of time to better whip the cream.).
• 4 slice each cake layer in half horizontally. (i find this easier if i completely freeze the layers beforehand, then use a very sharp serrated knife!) you now have 4 cake layers. set aside.
• 5 frosting: using your cold mixing bowl, blend together whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. (you can taste this mixture and decide if you want to add more sugar.).
• 6 beat at high speed for several minutes, until you achieve "cool whip" consistency. (don't over beat; it will get too thick.).
• 7 gently fold in the toffee bits.
• 8 frost the cake! mmmmm -- .
