01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F. While it’s warming up, grease and flour a 9-inch Bundt pan really well so the cake doesn’t stick. In a large bowl, mix together the butter pecan cake mix, water, oil, eggs, bananas, pecans, and toffee bits until everything is nicely combined. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and pop it in the oven. It should take about 30 to 40 minutes to bake—look for a light golden color and check with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.

Step 2
Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, place a serving plate on top, flip it over, and carefully lift the pan off so the cake can finish cooling completely. While that’s happening, melt the butter and brown sugar together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Bring it to a boil, then add the milk and let it boil again briefly. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla until you have a smooth frosting. Spread this over the cooled cake and let it sit for about 15 minutes so the frosting can set before serving.

How to serve
Serve this cake slightly warm or at room temperature. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Fresh fruit like sliced strawberries or a drizzle of honey can add a nice touch.
Storage & leftovers
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly and freeze for up to one month. Thaw gently before serving to keep the texture soft and moist.
