Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them and lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then pour in vanilla extract and blend until incorporated.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk until just blended.
  6. Fold in toffee bits, chopped pecans, and chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
  7. Divide the batter between prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate, add whipped cream on top, then place the second layer and dust with powdered sugar.
