The cake is dense and super moist, topped with vanilla bean whipped cream. On top of that are little bites of amazingly flavorful vanilla wafers that have been coated in a brown sugar mixture to make a toffee and then baked until crisp. You had me at toffee. (And I didn’t know how easy it was to make a toffee sauce at home!)
This cakes comes together very quickly and is baked in a springform pan for easy removal. Just spread the whipped cream on the top, sprinkle with the vanilla wafers and you have a very impressive and tasty dessert! Or breakfast.
