Toffee Bar Cake with Praline Sauce

Do you ever make a new recipe and, it is so good, you just can't believe it?  Well, this is how I feel about the following cake recipe!  SO good!  I joined an amazing organization this fall, The LeBonheur Club.   This organization serves our Memphis children's hospital.  This hospital is especially dear to my heart because our 6-year-old daughter, Brooke, underwent a heart procedure there, when she was 5 years old.  The doctors and the nurses are so amazing!   I purchased the club's cookbook two weeks ago and, have really enjoyed it.
