Coffee-Toffee Torte–YUM!

Okay, so I have a fettish for chocolate, toffee, and coffee. This dessert will knock your socks off as it is soooo good! The light heavenly flavor of angel food cake combined with whipped cream, coffee, chocolate, and crunchy toffee will send your tastebuds into Glory Land. This happens to be a recipe that my mom used to make years ago, but it is still a great one and so easy to make.

1 package instant chocolate pudding

1-1/3 cups milk

1-1/2 Tablespoons instant coffee

 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

1, 10-inch round angel food cake (Use either your favorite made-from-scratch cake or purchased cake)

2, 3/4 oz. chocolate-covered toffee bars such as Heath bars

Mix coffee and dry pudding together. Prepare according to package directions but use only the 1-1/3 cups milk. Chill. Beat the cream until smooth, about the consistency of pudding. Fold 1/2 of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. Split the angel food cake into 3 horizontal layers. Spread half of the pudding mixture between layers. For the frosting, fold the remaining whipped cream into the remaining pudding mixture. Frost the sides and top of the cake. Sprinkle with crushed toffee bars. Chill.

Serves 12

To make your own unique flavor, instead of instant coffee, use a flavored powdered instant coffee mixture.

Enjoy!
