Time 40m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups water
2/3 cup butterscotch chips
layer-size 2-layer-size yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup butterscotch chips (melted and cooled)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat water and the butterscotch-flavored pieces together until the pieces are just melted. Cool for about 10 minutes. Grease and flour two 8x1-1/2-inch round baking pans or two 9x1-1/2-inch round baking pans. Set the pans aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, cinnamon, and butterscotch mixture. Beat with electric mixer, as directed for cake mix. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 25 minutes for 9-inch layers or 35 minutes for 8-inch layers or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans. Cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
  • Frosting: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat in enough additional powdered sugar (about 1 cup) to make the frosting spreadable.
  • Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread top with some of the Butterscotch Frosting. Place second layer on top. Spread side and top of cake with frosting. Store in refrigerator.

Teri's mention that this is the first cake her daughter ever made inspired me to get my grandson, Connor, involved! He and I have cooked together since he could walk and it's a really precious time for us. We had a ton of fun preparing this recipe together, and the finished cake was a big hit with the entire Kitchen...

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg yellow cake mix (straight from the box)
1 c sour cream
1 small instant vanilla pudding mix (straight from the box)
1/2 c vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 pkg butterscotch chips

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy for a rich, velvety cake texture.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure even distribution and a light, airy crumb.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with milk, and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
