In a large sauce pan, bring the butter and water to a boil and set aside.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients one at a time. The batter must be smooth.

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes.

In a large pan, bring the butter and milk to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the confectioner's sugar, extract, nuts and toffee bits. Add food coloring and stir well, if using and spread over warm cake.
Notes
I felt that the cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would be cutting back at least ¼ cup of sugar from the cake recipe when I'm making it again. That's the reason I reduced the quantity of sugar in the frosting recipe. The original recipe had used 4.5 cups of sugar.
I did another mistake of not following the recipe. I did not mix the nuts/toffee bits with the frosting and before spreading it on the cake. I wanted to some decoration on the frosting, so that I can use some sprinkles, M&Ms, nuts, etc on the cake after pouring the frosting. But the frosting started getting harder and the sprinkles were not sticking to it.
I have used ½ cup of pureed silken tofu instead of 2 eggs mentioned in the original recipe.
