You can make the cake, freeze it and add the toffee sauce after letting it thaw.

How do I freeze it?

Bake and completely cool the cake.

Wrap it in cling film or similar making sure the cake is completely sealed.

Use a large piece of foil to wrap the cling filmed cake.

Make sure you label with the date it was made (so easy to forget!).

Pop it in the freezer in a air tight freeze proof container or add another layer of foil.
