List of Ingredients



• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 4 (1.4-oz.) chocolate-covered English toffee bars (such as Heath Bars), chopped (about 1 cup)
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  
• 1 tsp baking soda
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 1 large egg
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Using an electric mixer, beat first 5 ingredients in a large bowl on low speed until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer 1/2 cup butter-sugar mixture to medium bowl; mix in toffee and pecans. Set aside.
   
   
2. Stir baking soda into the remaining butter-sugar mixture in the large bowl. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla, beating until just combined. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish.
   
   
3. Sprinkle the toffee topping evenly over batter. Bake until topping is golden brown and toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool completely in baking dish. Cut into 16 squares.
