- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
- 1 (8-ounce) bag toffee bits

- 2 1/2 cups caramel sauce
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Step 2 –Generously spray all surfaces of a nonstick 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and flour or grease and flour the inside. Set aside.
Step 3 –In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
Step 4 –Add the brown sugar and the granulated sugar to the butter, beating until fluffy, no less than 3 minutes.

Step 6 –In a medium bowl, combine the flour, the baking powder, and the salt.
Step 7 –Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk in between each third.
Step 8 –Beat the batter until just combined.
Step 9 –Stir the toffee bits and the pecans into the batter.
Step 10 –Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
Step 11 –Bake until a fork inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, about 75–90 minutes. You may need to cover the top of the cake with foil near the end of cooking time to prevent excess browning.
Step 12 –Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Step 13 –Transfer the cake from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 14 –Spoon the caramel sauce over cake.
Step 15 –Serve.
