Preparation

Step 1

Directions for cake:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12 cup fluted or tube cake pan with nonstick baking spray with flour.
In a large bowl, beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add sugars, beating until fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, 1 cup at a time, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat just until combined. Stir in toffee bits and pecans. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour and 15-25 minutes. Cover top of cake with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning, if necessary.
Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Spoon caramel drizzle over cooled cake.

In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, whisking constantly.

Reduce heat, and simmer for 8 minutes, whisking constantly.

Remove from heat, whisk in butter and vanilla. Let cool for 5 minutes.
