Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish or bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, toffee bits, and sliced almonds.
  7. Spread half the batter in prepared pan, sprinkle with half the cinnamon-toffee-almond mixture, then repeat with remaining batter and topping.
  8. Bake 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool slightly before slicing and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

For richer flavor, lightly toast almonds before adding to the filling.Swap almonds for pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts if preferred.If using a bundt pan, increase bake time slightly and grease well.Toffee candy bars can be chopped and used instead of baking toffee bits.
