I have a beautiful Butterscotch Cake recipe to share with you today. This is one of my favorite cakes to make and bake.
Not only does it turn out perfect every time I make it, with a beautiful butterscotch flavor, but it is also incredibly moist and delicious.
It smells amazing when it is baking. My mouth waters in anticipation each and every time!
One thing you can count on when making a cake with buttermilk is that it is going to be super moist. Add brown sugar into the mix and you have a recipe for a really delicious and moist cake.
There is nothing artificial in this cake or its lush frosting. Only natural ingredients. Soft light brown sugar, real butter, buttermilk, eggs, and the usual suspects, flour, baking powder, soda, and real vanilla extract.
The frosting is also natural. Just butter, cream and brown sugar. Put together in such a way as to create a lush penuche frosting. Fudgy and buttery.
When we were children, my mother would sometimes make us brown sugar fudge as a treat. It was so sweet, but so good. Other times she would make peanut butter fudge. It was my favorite.
I used to do the same thing for my own children when they were growing up. When I was beating the frosting for this cake with my wooden spoon it reminded me of those times and how much they enjoyed being able to scrape out the fudge pot when I was done.
