Sheet Pan Chocolate Toffee Butter Cake with Fudge Frosting

This Sheet Pan Chocolate Toffee Butter Cake with Fudge Frosting is a made-from-scratch dessert rock star. The buttery cake is filled with toffee bits and mini chocolate chips that are mixed into the batter. After baking it’s topped with a fudge-like chocolate ganache and sprinkled with more toffee bits. It’s a single layer cake that’s a true crowd pleaser with plenty to go around for everyone to enjoy.

When it comes to potlucks or big family gatherings a cake like this sheet pan chocolate toffee cake can go a long way.  I’ve found that single layer cakes are always a crowd favorite since they allow the true sweets fans to have room for more than one dessert. That’s always a win, if you ask me. I mean, have you ever seen a Mississippi Mud Cake that didn’t disappear in the blink of an eye? I can say firsthand that I haven’t.

I bake this cake in a jelly roll pan and it works like a charm. If you don’t have a jelly roll pan, a 13 x 9-inch cake pan will work, of course. Keep in mind if you choose to do so, it will make a thicker cake and will require a longer time to bake. Once baked, cool the cake completely then top it with the chocolate fudge frosting and a sprinkling of toffee bits  for crunch and you’ll be good to go.

      You can, if you prefer. It gives the cake a beautiful texture but, the recipe will still work, yes.
