Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
- 0.5 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans and butterscotch chips. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out using a spatula.
In a separate small bowl, mix the brown sugar with the boiling water until dissolved. Carefully pour this mixture over the batter in the baking dish; do not stir.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake is set (the pudding layer will be bubbling underneath).
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. The sauce below will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm, scooping the pudding-like sauce from the bottom of the dish over each portion. Optionally, pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
