Like most things in life, creating a home as a couple is all about compromise. Even after one year of moving to this new house, we’re still not done decorating our nest, since the two of us have our own opinions and it takes time to come into an agreement. And even after being married for 3 years, we still haven’t printed our wedding pictures because one wants it printed on specific material, while the other wants to go classic. But those are the things that make us laugh as we enjoy our differences.
And that also leads to food choices. While Frederick is a huge fan of red sauce, I’m all about white sauce. However, there are things that we both agree to… such as ice cream (well, he converted me), cakes, veggies (lucky me, he’s all about salad), and this bundt cake.
This month #BundtBakers is brought to you by Kelly from Passion Kneaded. And it’s all about girl scout cookies. How many boxes of girl scout cookies did you eat this year? The other day, someone at work left several boxes of girl scout cookies opened and that means cookie party every day – after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, and when it’s close to tea time. Two of my friends even put a post-aid written “dangerous” on top of those boxes.
I think I like almost all kinds of girl scout cookies, but my most favorites are samoas, thin mints, and toffee-tastic… so here’s toffee-tastic bundt cake, inspired by the girl scout cookies. And if you happen to have vanilla ice cream at home, that will make this bundt cake even more fantastico!
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 11/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter melted
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
Filling:
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 3 tbs butter melted
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate coarsely chopped
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Thoroughly coat the inside of a 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray, set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- Combine the eggs and brown sugar in a mixer for 2 minutes.
- Add the butter and vanilla. Mix for another 3 minutes.
- Add in the buttermilk and combine.
- Add the flour mixture gradually and beat briefly until smooth. Set aside
- In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients and set aside.
- Pour about one half of the batter into the prepared pan (you can do this by eye). Smooth it with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle with filling and top with remaining cake batter, smoothing the top.
- Bake the cake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake portion shows a few moist crumbs when removed. Let cool for about 30 minutes, then unmold onto rack and cool completely.

I haven’t tried these cookies yet- are they new?
If they’re half as good as your cake looks, I’m sure I’d fall madly in love with them!

Oooh, I’ve never had the Toffee-tastics before, but that caramelized/crystalized toffee topping/filling goodness looks just fantastic.
It looks great 🙂
this looks delicious. I’ll be baking this weekend and may need to add this to the list!
OOoh. I love a bundt cake. Mostly because they don’t require you to be adept at icing, because I’m not. Gonna have to share this one with my mom. She’s a toffee nut!
I have never heard of the toffee tastic cookies but your bundt looks FAN tastic!!
Yum! I am pinning this cake for sure! And who doesn’t like coffee cake??
Oh man does that look delicious!!
I’m in love with this cake – you had me at toffee! Pinned 🙂
I would like to have a piece of this Bundt right now!!!
Linda, Tony and I are the same! Thankfully our decorating tastes are pretty similar but there’s still a huge list of things to buy/renovate even after having lived in this house for a year. And we’ve been married for 3 1/2 years now and haven’t printed out any wedding photos either even though we’ve been saying that we will for 3 1/2 years 🙂 Tony doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth so thankfully I’d have this cake all to myself if I were to bake it – which I will, immediately, because it looks amazing!
This bundt looks sooo delicious, Linda, I absolutely love toffee 🙂
Lovely Bundt. I love toffe and must try your recipe soon!
