Butter Scotch cake
A butterscotch cake is a type of dessert that typically consists of a cake flavoured with
butterscotch or brown sugar, and sometimes also includes nuts or caramel. It can be served
as a layer cake or as cupcakes and is often topped with a frosting or glaze made with
butterscotch or caramel. It has a rich, sweet, and slightly salty flavour, with notes of caramel
and toffee. The taste of the butterscotch cake is often described as being similar to the flavour
of butterscotch candies or sauce, with a deep, slightly savoury sweetness.
Butterscotch frosting: This is a frosting made with butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. It
has a rich, caramel-like flavour that pairs well with the flavour of the butterscotch cake.
Caramel frosting: This frosting is made with caramel sauce or caramel candies, and has a
sweet, buttery flavour.
Cream cheese frosting: This frosting is made with cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’
sugar, and has a tangy flavour that pairs well with the rich flavour of butterscotch.
Chocolate frosting: A rich and creamy frosting made with chocolate and butter. It can be used
to add a contrasting flavour to a butterscotch cake.
