Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can (9.5 oz) honey-roasted whole cashews
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel topping
2 cups whipping cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease or spray bottom only of 15x10x1-inch pan.

Top with third cake piece. Frost sides and top of cake with remaining caramel mixture. Sprinkle reserved whole cashews over top of cake. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until ready to serve.

I'm allergic to cashews, so I substituted almond flour in this recipe. The cake turned out great and I couldn't even tell that it was made with almond flour.

I had some trouble finding cashew flour, but I eventually found it at a specialty grocery store. The cake turned out great and was worth the effort to find the flour.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cashews, but I really enjoyed this cake. It's not too sweet and the cashew flavor is not overpowering. I would definitely make it again.
