Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F) with a fan setting.
- Line three 6-inch cake tins with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle.

- Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

- Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake tins.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened dairy-free butter with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until creamy and light.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, a little at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed.
- Add the dairy-free milk and vanilla bean extract, and mix on high speed until the frosting is fluffy and smooth.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the toffee sauce over it.
- Add a layer of frosting on top of the toffee sauce.
- Repeat with the remaining cake layers.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
