Toffee Coffee Cake

Delicious!  Easy!  Fast!  My three favorite things in a recipe, maybe I’ll start referring to these kinds of recipes as DEF’S, get it?  I served it with Cool Whip and it was a hit!

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups flour

1 cup buttermilk

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 (1.4 oz each) chocolate toffee candy bars, chopped or about 1/2 cup toffee bits from a bag

1/4 cup chopped pecans

1  Preheat oven to 350.  Spray 9 x 13″ pan with cooking spray.

2  Blend together butter, sugars and flour, set aside 1/2 cup of this mixture.  Add buttermilk, egg, baking soda and vanilla to remaining mixture in mixer bowl and mix well.  Pour batter into prepared pan.

3    Combine chopped toffee and pecans with reserved butter mixture and sprinkle over cake.  Bake 30 – 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
