ENGLISH TOFFEE CAKE

1 package chocolate cake mix
6 Skör candy bars
(crispy toffee bar in chocolate)
1/3 cup Kalhua liqueur
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup sugar

Bake cake in 2 9-inch layer pans
according to package directions;
cool completely.

Slice layers in half evenly to make 4 rounds
(thin string or dental floss is great to do this).

Pour Kalhua into a measuring cup;
sprinkle with gelatin and let soak 5 minutes.
Heat mixture in microwave 20 seconds,
or until warm to the touch and gelatin is dissolved.

In a mixing bowl, beat whipping cream,
gradually adding sugar until soft peaks form;
fold in gelatin mixture.

Lay the 4 cake rounds out on the counter;
evenly divide whipped cream between the rounds
and spread, leaving the sides bare.

Sprinkle each layer evenly with chopped Skör bars.
Stack the cake rounds on a large plate;
refrigerate at least 2 hours
uncovered to allow gelatin to set.

Then enjoy!
