A Deliciously Sweet Treat for Everyone!
Are you ready to indulge in a slice of heaven? Let me introduce you to the scrumptious Apple Butterscotch Cake! This delightful dessert combines the juicy sweetness of apples with the rich, buttery flavor of butterscotch, resulting in a cake that's both moist and oh-so-flavorful.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup apples peeled and chopped
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Glaze optional
- Ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to grease a 9x13 inch baking pan to ensure your cake comes out easily.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla extract for that extra flavor boost.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!
- Fold in Apples and Butterscotch Chips: Gently fold in the chopped apples and butterscotch chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake: Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the optional glaze. Serve with a scoop of ice cream for a delicious finishing touch!
