{Heath Cake with Toffee Sauce}

I celebrated a BIG birthday yesterday.

(It starts with a 4 and ends with a 0.)

If I think about it too much, I feel old.

So I decided not to think about it, and make myself a cake instead...

When I was little, I would always ask my mom to make me a

chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for my birthday.

It is still my favorite, but this year I made it even better!

I added Heath bars and toffee sauce.

 'Cause it's my birthday.

And I can make toffee sauce if I want to.

 I made my favorite chocolate cake recipe and topped it with this:
 

Heath Bar frosting 

(source)

1 quart heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup sugar
4 Heath bars (crushed)

Whip the cream, cocoa and sugar (about 3 minutes with hand mixer). Fold in Heath bars. Reserve 1/2 bar to sprinkle on top.

Toffee Sauce

(source)

3/4 cup corn syrup

1 1/4 cups brown sugar

7 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup whipping cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan over high heat and boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

Getting older is a great reason to make cake. :0)
