When I was younger, I always left the toffees in the assortment sweet tin behind. They didn’t appeal to me at all, maybe the overall stickiness! The only toffee thing I liked, was toffee apples! An apple completely coated in crisp sugared hard caramel more than toffee but the sweet and sharp flavours always appealed to me!
As I grew older, I started to like toffee ice cream and now I eat all the toffees in the sweet tin first! I have always wanted to make a toffee cake but was not sure how to capture that flavour, that slightly burnt sugar taste.
I was casually walking along the shopping isle and came across this…
I had to try it! And boy am I glad I did. The resulting cakes! Yes cakes!! I got 2 out of this small packet! It tasted sooo good, had a very much homemade texture and was extremely moist especially with my addition of apple. Simple yet delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it!
I do have a favour to ask! If anyone has a great toffee cake recipe from scratch please feel free to link it to this post or to message me the link or recipe. I would love to make one and will post it up in your name! Thank you in advance!
Have a wonderful weekend! Much love D x
INGREDIENTS
1packet toffee cake flour mix
1 red apple grated with skin
150ml single cream
1 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp vanilla extract
METHOD
• Preheat oven to 180°c, grease and line two sandwich cake tins or one 20 cm large cake tin
• Prepare the batter according to the toffee cake packet. In my case I had to add water and oil
• Fold the grated apple into the batter
• I used two tins so divided the mixture equally. Place the cake to bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean
• In the meantime, in a large bowl, pour in the cream, sugar and vanilla. Whisk cream until it becomes thick and frothy
• Once cake is done, slice up into pieces and serve with the vanilla cream

toffee cake sounds divine Dimple! Yummy.
Looks like a scrumptious cake! I love apple anything
Thank you Nancy 🙂
OMg omg.. I’m drooling. I have to pick that up from Tesco! And so easyyyy. Yummy! Did you just grate the apples in a grater ? Did that make it mushy – or it doesn’t matter? This might sound stupid but I’ve never grated apples in cakes before. So was wondering! x
I grated the apple in a grater..it is really easy and very nice x
Awesome!!! Next week its on my grocery list! x
Oooooh myy I want this right now! I will definitely be looking for toffee cake mix

Thank you so much! And if you are able to get the recipe… wow that will be just fantastic! Have a lovely weekend!
hi there reading through angies posts I came across this and thought of you http://pattynguyen.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/fiesta-friday-sticky-toffee-pudding/
have you tried it, it’s cakey and toffee like, although mainly due to the sauce. I remember a toffee cake somewhere in my repertoire too I will go look!
Thank you so very much Polianthus… will definitely have a look at the link you’ve sent and I look forward to your recipe…x
🙂 you are welcome, I had a blonde missisipi mud cake I made once made with golden syrup that was very toffeish with a light golden toffee flavour that was lovely I have that recipe somewhere too 😉
done some googling and just found this one too : http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/22958/golden+syrup+steamed+pudding
you’d think it would have to be toffee flavoured as well. On a movie related topic that is about food (and india) have you seen the beautiful film the lunch box? About the woman who cooks for her husband with love and he keeps getting the wrong lunch box. Love the food, the melancholy and the acting!
Shivaay, have you ever made homemade toffee candy? It’s so good!
No I haven’t.. that would be awesome! Do you have a recipe?
Yes, and you’ll love how simple it is! Here is a link to the recipe I use:
