Ingredients
  

For the cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour provides structure
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder leavening agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt enhances flavor
  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened for richness
  • 2 cups light brown sugar, packed adds moisture and sweetness
  • 1 cup granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 5 large eggs for binding and moisture
  • 1 cup whole milk adds moisture
  • 8 ounces milk chocolate toffee pieces adds sweet crunch
  • 1 cup pecans, chopped for nutty flavor and texture

For the caramel drizzle

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk for creamy sweetness
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed additional sweetness
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for richness
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavor

For preparation

  • non-stick baking spray with flour for easy release

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and spray a 12-cup Bundt pan generously with non-stick baking spray with flour.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

Mixing the batter

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter on medium speed until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Gradually add in the packed light brown sugar and granulated sugar to the creamed butter and continue to beat until fluffy and pale, another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the large eggs one at a time, mixing each one in until fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and the whole milk to the mixing bowl, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the milk chocolate toffee pieces and chopped pecans by hand using a spatula.

Baking the cake

  • Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, filling it about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 75 to 80 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  • Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Preparing caramel drizzle

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and packed light brown sugar. Stir frequently until it comes to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 8 minutes.
  • After simmering, stir in the unsalted butter and vanilla extract until completely smooth and melted.
  • Drizzle the warm caramel mixture generously over the cooled cake.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain moisture.
