Ingredients

Scale

Cakes

  • 1 cup (226 grams) butter, softened
  • 1 cup (199 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (107 grams) packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (4 grams) baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups (340 grams) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Contents of one vanilla bean
  • 1 cup finely toasted pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Whipped Cream

  • 8 ounces whipping cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 Tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla

Instructions

Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. While oven is preheating, spray mini bundt pans with a baking spray containing flour.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine both sugars and butter and beat at medium speed until fluffy.  
  4. Next, add eggs one at a time, beating until well-combined.
  5. Then, combine flour and baking powder, whisking to mix.
  6. Gradually add flour mixture, alternating with heavy cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Do not over mix.
  7. Next, stir in vanilla, the contents of the vanilla bean, pecans, and toffee bits by hand. 
  8. Slowly pour the batter into the individual mini cake bundt pans. The mini bundt (6 mini cake holder) will bake for 22-26 minutes. Watch closely and remove from the oven when a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pans for approximately 10-15 minutes.

  11. Repeat the process a second time for a total of 10 cakes.
