  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar

  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently, then add the chopped walnuts.
  5. Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes.
  6. Prepare the toffee drizzle by heating brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan until thickened.

Notes
