• Sift together flour, corn starch, baking powder and salt. Mix in alternately with milk. fold in 1 cup chopped pecans.
• Pour into prepared pans. Gently tap pans on counter to 'settle' batter (and eliminate 'holes' in cake layers.).
• Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove cakes from oven when a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out 'clean'.
• Set cake pans on cooling racks for 5 minutes.
• Invert cakes onto cooling racks, removing cake pans. Cool completely before assembling cake.
• For FILLING:.
• Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tbsp flour, apple sauce, nutmeg, 1/2 cup butter, chopped dates (or raisins) in saucepan. Cook over low heat until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute.
• Pour 1/2 mixture in beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly, then stir into filling in saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
• Remove from heat and let cool before filling cake.
• For FROSTING:.
• Beat 1/3 cup butter, softened with 3 cups confectioners' sugar. Stir in cream and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla until smooth.
• To ASSEMBLE:.
• Place one layer of cake on plate. Spread filling evenly over. Center 2nd layer over. If necessary, trim sides to make even. Spread thin coating of frosting around sides.
• Frost sides and then top, spreading frosting evelyn, suing a swirl pattern to add dimension and texture.
• Sprinkle toffee pieces evenly over top.
• Cover with cake dome until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously grease bottom and sides of two 9-inch round pans or spray with baking spray with flour. (Do not use 8-inch rounds or batter will overflow.)
• Beat cake mix, pudding mix (dry), water, butter and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Toss 1/2 cup of the brickle chips with flour in small bowl; stir into cake batter (batter will be thick). Spoon evenly into pans.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around side of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Beat whipping cream and brown sugar in chilled large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Spread about 1/2 cup whipped cream mixture over 1 cake layer to within about 1/4 inch of edge; sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the brickle chips. Top with second layer. Frost side and top of cake with remaining whipped cream mixture. Press remaining 1 cup brickle chips into side of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease and flour one 13x9 inch pan.
• Sift the flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt together.
• Mix in the shortening, milk and vanilla.
• Beat until well combined.
• Add the egg whites and beat for 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let cool then ice.
• To Make Icing: Melt butter in a saucepan until it begins to brown.
• Remove from heat and add the confectioners' sugar, evaporated milk or half and half, hot water and 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
• Beat at medium speed for three minutes.
• Then pour icing over cake and allow icing to set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 320 degrees F.
• Mix together sugar, flour, salt, soda, shortening and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on 2nd speed for 3 minutes. Then add whole eggs, buttermilk and vanilla to the mixture and beat again for 3 minutes on 2nd speed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar into a meringue state. Then gently fold the meringue into the buttermilk mixture. Pour into 4 parchment lined sheet pans or 4 (4 by 13-inch) round cake pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the cake.

Steps:

• Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment or silicone paper. On each sheet, trace a 9-inch circle. Turn paper over so that you can see the tracings. Preheat oven to 225 degrees.
• Mix together 1 cup sugar, finely chopped nuts, and sifted cornstarch. Place egg whites in bowl of electric mixer. Using the whip attachment, start whipping at slow speed until whites are foamy, add the cream of tartar and salt, continue whipping at fast speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the 3 tablespoons of sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Add the vanilla extract. Remove bowl from mixer stand, fold in the nut mixture by hand, a small amount at a time. Divide mixture between 3 circles and spread into even layers. Bake for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour or until meringues are lightly coloured and dry.
• Place the 3 meringue layers on work surface, turn 1 layer over to the smooth side (for top layer). Spread a very thin layer of caramel sauce on top layer and chill. Lay 2 remaining meringues on work surface and brush with melted milk chocolate. Chill until set.
• Remove all layers from refrigerator and place the bottom layer on serving plate, spread 1/2 of the toffee cream over the first layer, place next layer on top and spread the remaining 1/2 of the toffee cream over layer. Place top layer gently on top. Fill a piping bag with a 1/2-inch plain tip and pipe 8 rosettes around the outside border of the layer, leaving space between the rosettes. Fill the spaces with broken pieces of toffee. Drizzle caramel lightly over the whipped cream rosettes. Chill 4 hours before serving.
• In a small saucepan, scald the cream and set aside. Combine the sugar with 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan. Stir to moisten the sugar. Bring to a simmer, swirling the pan gently to dissolve the sugar. Increase heat and continuing simmering without stirring until syrup begins to color. Once the syrup turns a deep amber or caramel color, remove from heat and add the cream in a steady stream, stirring with a wire whisk. Caramel and cream will bubble up and steam, but keep stirring and continue to whisk until caramel is completely dissolved and combined with the cream. Stir in pieces of butter until melted and combined. Stir in vanilla and salt. Set aside to cool.
• Coat a cookie sheet with vegetable oil and set aside. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place the sugar, water, corn syrup and vanilla in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Cook the mixture over high heat until it reaches a boil. Let the mixture boil for 1 minute. Add the butter, stirring to combine. Continue to boil, stirring often. Scrape the bottom of the pan to keep the mixture from burning. The mixture should reach 290 degrees on a candy thermometer and is a deep golden brown. Remove from the heat and stir in the nuts. Turn the mixture out onto the oiled tray and let it cool completely.
• Whip the cream until soft peaks form, add the icing sugar; continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside 1 cup of cream for decoration. Fold the toffee into the remaining cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350.
• Mix cake mix, egg and butter. It will be the consistency of a pie crust dough.

Cool 5 minutes; break into pieces while still warm., Pat half of the crumbs into a 13x9-in. baking pan. Drizzle with half of the caramel topping. Cut ice cream into 1-in. slices; place in a single layer in pan. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Drizzle with remaining topping. Freeze until firm, about 2-3 hours. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup melted butter and white sugar until well mixed. Press into bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
