Yellow Cake with Peanut Butterscotch Topping

By minicoopercraig

This is an old family recipe that's been handed down from mother to son, and now to me. Of course, I'm of no real relation to the family, but I still got it! :)

Ingredients

• 1 yellow cake mix, prepared according to package instructions in a 9 X 13 pan (Reduced Sugar Pillsbury is recommended)
• 12 oz butterscotch morsels
• 2 cups peanut butter (Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter, Creamy is recommended)
• 2 cups Corn Flakes, crushed

Preparation

Step 1

Once the cake is done baking, allow to cool.
While the cake is cooling, melt the butterscotch morsels in the top of a double boiler with simmering water.
When all the morsels have melted, add the peanut butter, 1 cup at a time, into the mixture, and stir to combine.
Then, when all the peanut butter is incorporated, add the crushed corn flakes and mix thoroughly.
Remove from the double boiler and allow to cool for no more than 5 minutes.
Once the spread has cooled slightly, spread it onto your cake mix.
Place the frosted cake into the refrigerator until the topping is solid (sounds healthy right?! LOL).
Cut and serve.
