Butterscotch Cake
I love the flavor of this cake! That perfect and cozy butterscotch flavor. A little bit caramel, a little bit buttery. This cake is super moist and paired with the butterscotch flavor is an amazing cake!
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temp
1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, room temp
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups butterscotch sauce (premade jar or homemade (recipe here)
Instructions
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8 inch round cake pans, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a stand mixer, beat the butter on med-high speed for about 1 minute. Scrape the sides of the bowl, add the white sugar and brown sugar and mix again for about 3-4 minutes, scraping the sides of bowl as needed. Add vanilla and eggs and mix again until combined.
- Add the flour in three additions alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mix. Mix until just combined, careful not to overmix.
- Pour half into each prepared cake pan and bake for 32-34 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before turning the pans over to remove the cake.
- Frosting: In a stand mixer, mix the butter and powdered sugar on low speed until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the salt, vanilla and 1/3 cup of the butterscotch sauce.
- Assemble: When ready to frost- drizzle some of remaining butterscotch sauce on top of each layer before frosting with the butterscotch frosting. Frost cake and enjoy!!
