- 1 cup crushed Heath bars
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans by greasing them lightly with butter.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

- Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk.
- Crush the Heath bars: Gently fold in your crushed Heath bars until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Divide the batter into your prepared cake pans, and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the frosting: Cream softened butter with powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a pinch of salt.
- Assemble: Once the cakes are cooled, frost each layer generously, adding more crushed Heath on top.
- Serve with love: Allow it to set before slicing.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with vegan butter and milk with non-dairy milk. Be sure to mix just until combined to keep the cake light.
