What a spectacular cake! I love the contrast of the crunch of the toffee and almonds with the cake and frosting. I thought the cake batter was super easy to put together. I used a 10 x 15 pan instead of the 12 x 16 pan called for. I was worried it was going to spill over the top, but it didn't. That made me think that my cake didn't rise as high as it should have. No matter though, it turned out fantantic, just not very tall. On the frosting I only used a half pound of butter and put a tablespoon of brewed coffee in to thin the frosting. I also put almonds and toffee between the layers and was happy I did. Yes this cake takes some time to put together. I did it over a couple days and that made it much easier. I think it's really worth it. It's an excellent cake.
