4. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

For the Toffee Sauce:

1. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture is smooth.
2. Simmer:
   • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
3. Finish with Vanilla:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
