Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 1.25 cups Boiling water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, but do not overmix.
Step 4
Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking dish using a spatula.
Step 5
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the batter, followed by the butterscotch chips.
Step 6
Carefully pour the boiling water over the entire surface of the dish. Do not stir.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown. The cake will develop a pudding-like layer underneath.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
