Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottoms of three 9 inch cake pans with parchment paper. Lightly coat paper and sides of pans with cooking spray then set aside. In a large mixing, bowl combine butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Combine syrup, water and cream in a small bowl. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl then add to butter mixture, alternately with liquid, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla then fold in chips, 1 1/2 cups cashews and brickle bits. Spoon into prepared pans and bake 20-25 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 15 minutes. Remove cake layers from pan then cool completely before icing. Icing: In a medium bowl, combine first 4 ingredients and whisk until blended. Add 4 cups powdered sugar and stir. With a mixer, beat until smooth, adding extra cream, if necessary to reach desired consistency. Ice cake and sprinkle with remaining cashews.

 

Notes: You may sprinkle additional brickle bits among the cashews. It may seem to take a long time to prepare this cake, but it actually doesn't. Believe me it is worth the effort. You hubby will love it and so will the kids.
