This chocolate toffee layer cake was such a hit but the best part was how simple it was! It came together so easily let looks like you spent a day working on it. I would recommend making the cake a day in advance and popping the layers in the freezer. This helps with the ease of decorating and also the amount of time needed. The genius inspiration for this cake and the buttercream frosting comes from I Am Baker!  Pay her a visit-you will be thrilled that you did!chocolate-toffee-ganache-cake toffee-cake-ganache-frosting toffee-cake toffee-caramel-cake toffee-ganache
