1/3

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1

cup water
1/3

cup vegetable oil
3

eggs
1

bag (8 oz) chocolate-coated toffee bits
1

can (13.4 oz) dulce de leche (caramelized sweetened condensed milk)
Sweetened whipped cream, if desired

Steps

1

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
2

In large bowl, beat cake mix, flour, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in 1/2 cup of the toffee bits. Pour into pan.
3

Reserve 1/2 cup dulce de leche. Spoon remaining dulce de leche by teaspoonfuls onto batter.
4

Bake 34 to 42 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. In small microwavable bowl, microwave reserved dulce de leche on High 10 to 15 seconds or until softened; spread evenly over top of cake. Sprinkle with remaining toffee bits. Cool about 1 hour before serving. Top each serving with whipped cream and caramel topping.

You can substitute crushed chocolate-covered English toffee candy bars for the toffee bits.
Dulce de leche, a caramelized condensed milk, can be found near the sweetened condensed milk in the grocery store.
