Ever since I discovered toffee bits at my local grocery store, I've been obsessed with baking them into everything. This Toffee Angel Food Cake is my absolute favorite way to use them because it comes together in just 45 minutes from start to finish. The best part? It's surprisingly budget friendly since you probably have most of these pantry staples on hand already. Plus, eggs are packed with choline, which supports brain health, so you can feel good about indulging in a slice. The fluffy cake paired with that rich toffee glaze and scattered toffee chips creates a truly magical dessert that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when you really didn't.
