Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cups buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cups butterscotch chips
  • 1 cups caramel sauce

Toppings

  • 1 cups Whipped cream for topping

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture into the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the butterscotch chips until evenly distributed.
  • Evenly divide the batter among the three prepared pans.

Baking

  • Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Assembly

  • Once completely cool, layer the cakes, placing one on a serving plate, spreading caramel sauce between each layer, and repeating.
  • Top with another layer and spread whipped cream on top, drizzling with more caramel sauce.

Notes

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze layers for longer storage. Make sure to use fresh ingredients for the best results.
