6 Layer Toffee Torte image

This is a very showy and tasty cake. If you are not planning to use it all at one time (party or large family) I would recommend replacing the whipped cream frosting with one that will be stable for a longer time but do still add the 1/2 tsp of instant coffee to it. Prep time includes making and assembeling the cake.
