Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tbsp butterscotch topping (I used Smucker’s)
- 1/2 cup cream soda
- Extra butterscotch topping, for decorating
- For the butter cream frosting (makes enough to cover two 6″ cakes, with a layer of frosting in between cake layers):
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup butterscotch topping
- 1 Tbsp cream soda
- 1 lb powdered sugar
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray two 6″ or 8″ pans with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, milk, butterscotch topping, and cream soda.
Add the dry ingredients half at a time, beating until smooth.
Pour into the prepared pans. For 6″ cakes, bake 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. (You may need to adjust the baking time for 8″ cakes.) Cool completely before frosting.

Drizzle with the extra butterscotch topping – it really does add a little something extra!
