PEANUT BRITTLE CRUNCH CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 325*. Grease and flour a 12 cup Bundt Pan. (If using a 10-cup pan, fill to 3/4 full and make 3 or 4 cupcakes from remaining batter.)
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar and butter until coarse crumbs form. Remove 1/2 cup flour mixture; mix with peanut brittle and nuts. Set aside.
• 3. Add all remaining ingredients to flour mixture; mix well. Spoon half of the batter into a prepared pan. Spoon floured peanut brittle mixture over batter. Top with remaining batter.
• 4. Bake at 325* for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes.
• 5. Remove from pan; cool completely on rack. If desired, sprinkle with powdered sugar or glaze of your choice.
• 6. ** To substitute for buttermilk, use 4 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar plus enough milk to make 1 1/3 cups.
• 7. Variation: Toffee bars can be substituted for the peanut brittle. Use 4 (5 3/4 oz) bars. It is easier to crush toffee if it is frozen.
