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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and butterscotch sauce until fully combined.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips using a rubber spatula.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Step 9
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Frost with your favorite butterscotch or caramel frosting and drizzle more butterscotch sauce on top for extra flavor. Slice and serve!
