STEP 3: Bake the Cake

  1. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

STEP 4: Make the Butterscotch Frosting

  1. Beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Add powdered sugar gradually, beating after each addition.
  3. Pour in the butterscotch sauce, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Thin out the frosting with heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.

Taste it—this frosting is dangerously delicious!

  2. Spread a thick layer of butterscotch frosting over the top.
  3. Sprinkle some toffee bits for crunch.
  4. Add the second cake layer and frost the entire cake generously.
  5. Press more toffee bits around the edges or on top.
  6. Warm a little extra butterscotch sauce and drizzle it over the cake for a stunning finish.

🍰 Tips for the Perfect Butterscotch Cake

  • Don’t skip the sour cream—it guarantees moisture.
  • Make sure the butterscotch is fully cooled before adding it to the batter.
  • Chill the cake 20 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
