I found this recipe on the net when I was looking for something totally different to make for a afternoon tea. Its simple and very nice next to a cuppa. Frosting can be added but I just like it with a light sprinkling of icing sugar (powdered sugar)

How To Make samoan toffee cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly brush a 10cm deep (10-cup), 26cm (top measurement) non-stick bundt cake pan (or fluted ring pan) with melted butter to grease. Place on a baking tray.
  • 2
    Place large bowl place butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat on high, until mixture is pale and creamy. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat well after each addition until combined.

    To make toffee: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to the boil. Boil, uncovered, without stirring, for 15-20 minutes or until it is golden. Remove immediately from heat and cool base of pot in cold water to stop cooking.
