Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups butter, softened
  • 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 8oz bag toffee chips (e.g., Heath)
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped

For the Caramel Drizzle:

  • 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray or grease it and dust with flour.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
    • Add the light brown sugar and granulated sugar, beating until the mixture becomes fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
    • In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter alternately with the whole milk, beating until just combined.
    • Stir in the toffee chips and chopped pecans.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Spoon the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 85 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
    • To prevent excess browning, you can cover the cake with foil while it’s baking.
  4. Cool the Cake:
    • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
    • Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the Caramel Drizzle:
    • In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and brown sugar.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently.
    • Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, continuing to whisk frequently.
    • Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract.
    • Let the caramel drizzle cool for 5 minutes before using.
  6. Drizzle the Caramel:
    • Once the cake has cooled completely, spoon the caramel drizzle over the cooled cake.
    • It’s important to drizzle the caramel while it’s still hot for the best results.
