Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups butterscotch sauce
- 1 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and butterscotch sauce until fully combined.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternate adding the dry flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until just incorporated; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips using a rubber spatula.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite butterscotch or caramel frosting and drizzle more butterscotch sauce on top for extra flavor. Slice and serve!
