How To Make Brown Sugar Caramel Pound Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray or grease and dust with flour.
2. Beat butter until creamy. Add sugars, beating until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to batter alternately with milk, beating until just combined.
4. Stir in toffee chips and pecans. Spoon batter into the pan and bake for 85 minutes or until a wooden pick comes out clean. To prevent excess browning, cover the cake with foil while baking.
5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Spoon caramel drizzle over the cooled cake.
