Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Buttermilk
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.75 cups Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Fold in the diced apples and butterscotch chips using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is cooling, make the butterscotch glaze. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the remaining butterscotch chips and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the chips are fully melted and the glaze is smooth.
Once the cake has cooled for about 10-15 minutes, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack. Drizzle the butterscotch glaze generously over the top of the cake.
Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy this irresistible Butterscotch Apple Bribe Cake!
