Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) box white angel food cake mix
- 1 1/3 cups cold water
- 6 (1.4-ounce) bars chocolate-covered English toffee candy
- 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
- cocoa powder, to taste, for topping
Directions
Step 1 –Move an oven rack to the lowest position and remove all of the other racks.
Step 2 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 3 –In an extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat the cake mix and the water with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds.
Step 4 –Then, beat the batter on medium speed for 1 minute.
Step 5 –Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food or tube cake pan.
Step 6 –Bake until the top is dark golden-brown and the cracks feel very dry, about 37-47 minutes. Do not underbake.
Step 7 –Immediately turn the pan upside down onto a long-neck glass bottle so the center of the pan is suspended by the bottle (which will help the cake come out later), until the cake is completely cool, about 2 hours.
Step 8 –Run a knife around the edges of the cake and carefully remove it from the pan.
Step 9 –Crush or finely chop the toffee candy bars, reserving 1/3 cup of the pieces.
Step 10 –Fold the remaining crushed candy into the whipped topping.
Step 11 –Tear the cake into about 1-inch pieces.
Step 12 –In a large bowl, mix the cake pieces and the whipped topping mixture.
Step 13 –Lightly press the cake mixture into a 9×13-inch pan.
Step 14 –Sprinkle the top of the cake mixture with the reserved crushed candy.
Step 15 –Freeze the dessert until firm, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
Step 16 –Cut the dessert into squares or spoon it into dessert dishes.
Step 17 –Dust the top with the cocoa powder and serve.
