This is 100% my new favorite cake and whoever has a birthday next, they get a butterscotch cake. Mostly because I want to eat this again. It’s that perfect carmely, butterscotch, brown sugar rich flavor. The cake is super moist (ick, I know, but until there is another word to describe the texture of a cake, we must use moist.) Paired with the most incredible rich and creamy butterscotch frosting, this literally will have you standing in front of it with a fork. Screw the plates.
In fact, I did catch Leah taking a giant bite out of the side of this cake. I couldn’t even get mad, it’s that good. This recipe is originally by Handle the Heat and I am totally obsessed. I used jar butterscotch sauce but she has an amazing and easy homemade sauce you can use too.
I made two batches of the cake and frosting to make a 4 layer cake, but one batch will get you a 2 layer cake. Do it! Make this cake! It will soon become your new favorite too.

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!
