So I found this recipe awhile back and it just resurfaced and I promise, this is the most delicious homemade cake ever! I do not make it very often because well.. baking is a science and like any science experiment, sometimes you yield good results and sometimes you don't lol. My husband always tells me I never make the same thing the same way again, it always tastes different! Well, because this recipe is from scratch.. there is a lot of room for error but out of the 2 times I have made it.. both times came out delish. So here's what you do. Preheat the oven to 35o and grease a bundt pan with cooking spray, dust the pan lightly with flour or the cake will stick to the pan (found this out the hard way)
Ingredients:
1.5 cups of soft butter
2 cups of brown sugar
1 cup of white sugar
5 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
.5 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
toffee chips
chopped pecans
Frosting:
can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp of butter
vanilla
First you beat the butter then add all the sugars until it becomes creamy. Then you have to add the egg one at a time and beat it one at a time (this is very important). In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. You are going to add this alternating with the milk and beat batter each time you add one of the two. Fold in the toffee and pecans (sometimes I add coconut because I am a little nutty). Bake cake until toothpick comes out clean, usually 60-75 minutes. Let the cake cool upside down (as the cake is cooling it will drop from pan).
To make frosting heat the condensed milk in pan with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla.. stir so that it does not stick to pan, do this for about 6 mins, you will see it start to become a caramel right before your eyes, while the caramel is still hot, pour over cake.
Then eat!!!
