Ingredients:
- 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 (8 oz) bag toffee chips (such as Heath)
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
Caramel Drizzle:
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the Pound Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and either spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray or grease it and dust it with flour.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar, and continue beating until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, alternating with the whole milk. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the toffee chips and chopped pecans.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
- Bake for approximately 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 baking.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
For 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 about 8 minutes, continuing to whisk frequently.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Let the caramel drizzle cool for about 5 minutes before using.
To Assemble:
- Once the pound cake has cooled, spoon the warm caramel drizzle over the top of the cake.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake!
