Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube pan, such as a Bundt® pan.

  3. In a bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, bananas, pecans, and toffee baking bits, mixing thoroughly.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Allow the cake to cool in the tube pan for 15 minutes.

  7. Place a serving platter on top of the pan, then invert the pan to remove it. Gently lift the pan from the cake and let the cake finish cooling.

  8. In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over low heat, stirring until combined.

  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then stir in the milk and return to a rolling boil.

  10. Remove the saucepan from heat. Beat in the confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth.

  11. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and allow it to set for about 15 minutes.
