Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/2 cups (325g) all purpose flour
3.4 oz butterscotch instant pudding mix
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup (168g) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups (337g) packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups (300ml) milk
1 1/4 cups (280g) unsalted butter, room temperature
11 oz butterscotch chips, melted
6 1/4 cups (719g) powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120ml) milk or cream
12-14 oz butterscotch chips, for decorating

Steps:

  • Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). 2
  • . Combine the flour, pudding mix, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • . Add the butter, brown sugar and vegetable oil to a large mixer bowl and beat together until light in color and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.
  • . Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until completely combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • . Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
  • . Add the milk and mix until well combined. The batter will look a little curdled, but that's ok. 7.
  • Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter. 8.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the cakes pans and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. 9.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely. 10
  • To make the butterscotch frosting, add the butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth. 11
  • Slowly add the melted butterscotch chips and mix until well combined. 12
  • Add about half of the powdered sugar, the salt and half of the milk or cream and mix until well combined. 13
  • Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until smooth. 14
  • Add the remaining milk or cream as needed to get the right consistency of frosting. Set frosting aside. 15
  • To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they're flat, if needed. The cakes should be pretty flat already. Place the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round. 16.
  • pread about 1 cup of frosting into an even layer on top of the cake. 17.
  • dd the second layer of cake on top of the frosting. 18.
  • dd another cup of frosting on top of the cake and spread into an even layer. 19.
  • op the cake with the remaining layer and frost the outside of the cake. Refer to my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake, if needed. 20.
  • ress butterscotch chips into the sides of the cake immediately after frosting it. 21.
  • se the remaining frosting to pipe shells around the border of the cake. 22.
  • tore cake in an airtight carrier. Cake is best when eaten within 3-4 days.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h50m

Yield 1 (9-inch) 3-layer cake; 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 large eggs
Nonstick baking spray
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour (sift before measuring)
2 teaspoons baking powder
Salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or whole milk, at room temperature
3/4 cup safflower oil or canola oil
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons, plus 1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons unflavored powdered gelatin
2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup half-n-half or whole milk
1/2 cup water
1 1/4 pounds unsalted butter (5 sticks), at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Separate the eggs. Place the egg whites in a medium bowl and yolks in a small bowl. Let stand at room temperature, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line the bottom of 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  • Sift together the sifted flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar. If there are any large clumps of brown sugar, break them up with a spoon. Stir, then set aside.
  • Whip the egg whites to soft peaks with an electric mixer. With the mixer running, slowly add 1/4 cup sugar and continue to whip to stiff peaks. Add the egg yolks, half-and-half, oil, and vanilla to the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter a third at a time. Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool.
  • For the frosting: Place 4 tablespoons of water in a small bowl or ramekin. Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the top, making sure the gelatin is moistened. Let stand 5 minutes to bloom.
  • In the meantime, place the brown sugar, half-n-half, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Stir. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the gelatin has dissolved. Remove from heat to cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the butter in a standing mixer until fluffy. Add the cooled gelatin mixture. Whip until thickened to a creamy frosting. This will look like a curdled hot mess but keep whipping and in 10 to 15 minutes it will become a beautiful buttercream. Mix in the vanilla.
  • For the butterscotch sauce:
  • Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low to medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble. Whisk until incorporated. Return the pan to low heat and cook for 10 minutes without stirring, until slightly thickened. Remove pan from the heat and add the vanilla. Stir. Let cool to room temperature. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  • Fill and frost the cooled cakes, drizzling the butterscotch sauce between the cake layers and on top of the frosting, and on top of cake.
