How to make a butterscotch cake?
- First of all, prepare three cake pans of 8 inches and place parchment paper at the bottom. Grease the sides and pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 degrees Celsius
- Now take a large bowl and mix flour, baking powder, salt, and pudding mix.
- Add vegetable oil, butter, and brown sugar and beat them together nicely for 3-4 minutes. There will be light brownish colour and the texture would be creamy.
- Now, add one egg at a time and give a nice mix every time. Follow that with vanilla extract. The mixture will become smoother.
- Now add half the amount of the dry ingredients in this wet mixture and combine well.
- Add milk along with the remaining half amount of dry ingredients and mix all until well combined.
- Now divide the batter evenly into three cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. You can also check the cake with a toothpick.
- Once the cakes are baked, take them out from the oven and let them cool completely.
- While the cake cools, you can proceed with the cake frosting.
- Take a large mixing bowl and add butter. Beat the butter until smooth.
- Add melted butterscotch chips and mix them well.
- Now add half of the powdered sugar, salt, and cream/milk and mix until well combined.
- Now take one cake and spread 1 cup of frosting into an even layer atop the cake.
- Take the second cake and place it on the first cake and follow the same procedure.
- Use the remaining frosting to cover the cake and use butterscotch chips into the sides of the cake.
- Chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.
