Last week when I went to Nilgiris I saw packs of Butterscotch chips and that reminded me of mittus sudden craze for butterscotch flavour so with no further thoughts got a pack of it and picked up the essence too.I have already tried Butterscotch Cake that was with eggs so thought to try a eggless version.I wanted to put it simple so repeated the same recipe that I tried already with minor modifications.,the cake came out so soft, I shared it with mittus friend and they loved it too and asked for the recipe.
You can see how soft the cake is.Cool down completely before slicing.
Eggless Butterscotch Cake Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 20 mins | Cooking Time : 50 mins | Makes : 1 loaf cake
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: World
Mix 1:
Maida – 1 and 1/2 cups
Baking Powder – 1 tsp
Butterscotch Chips – 1/2 cup
Mix 2:
Sugar – 1 cup
Oil – 1/8 cup
Melted Butter – 1/8 cup
Butterscotch Essense – 1 tsp
Water – 1/2 cup
Mix 3:
Thick Curd – 1/2 cup
Vinegar – 1 tbsp
Baking Soda – 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Measure and take maida and baking powder in a mixing bowl,whisk it well.Set aside.In another mixing bowl take sugar.
- Add water,oil and melted butter.
- Then add butterscotch essence.Whisk it well and stir till sugar dissolves completely, set aside.
- Now take thick curd in another mixing bowl,add baking soda and vinegar to it.
- Wait till it becomes frothy.Now add this to oil-water-sugar mixture(Mix 2).Whisk well.
- Now add flour little by little and keep whisking.
- Whisk well so that there are no lumps, it will form a creamy flowing batter.Now coat butterscotch chips with a tsp of flour and then add(I forgot it but recommend coating with flour to avoid sinking to the bottom).
- Mix once with a spatula.Now grease the loaf pan with oil,then sprinkle flour and tap off the excess flour.Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Top with butterscotch chips and Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 45-50 mins or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean , you can also see the golden top.Cool down completely atleast for 30mins then invert to demould.After that leave for 30mins,then slice.
Cool down and store in airtight container.
My Notes:
- The only mistake I did was : I forgot to coat the chips with flour so most of the chips sinked to the bottom.So I highly recommend mixing butterscotch chips with a tsp of flour.
- The batter is not advisable to rest, just mix and bake it immediately.So plan it accordingly such that you bake the entire batter in a single batch.
- You can add any chopped nuts of your choice.
- I used homemade yogurt.
- You can replace butterscotch essence with vanilla essence if you prefer.
- Use active baking soda which shows by foaming up immediately when you add it to curd.
what is active baking soda

No vinegar is must, if you don't have try adding lemon juice
Sharmee. Your cake looks yumm… just a quicm question, how long would u suggest to whisk the final batter? How important is whisking to get a soft and spongy cake?
Just for few seconds till the batter comes together without any lumps
good idea to make this recipe.
What if we don't want to use a microwave?
If it has convection mode then you can

Hi,
The butterscotch morsels in the cake melted and spread out making he cake sticky..how can this be prevented?
Just made this yummy looking cake…
where would I get butterscotch chips here in USA?
You can get them at pretty much any grocery store, even Target and Walmart sell them. Nestle is a popular brand, but there are also generic ones.
Hello I make this cake today
I replace vinegar with lemon juice
The cake taste superb but its not spongy it’s soft only their is no texture
Why this happens??
Hi can i bake this cake in a 6″ round tin?
Guess this measure would be good to go for ur 6inch tin
Can I make this cake with wheat flour?
You can try and see
I made this yesterday and it was quite lovely. For some reason almost all my butterscotch chips sunk to the bottom and stuck to the pan despite coating them with flour. That said, it was still an amazing cake. I think next time I will use mini chocolate chips. Also, I used caramel extract because I didn’t have any butterscotch essence. Thank you for a great recipe. My whole family is looking forward to me baking it again. 🙂
I don’t have vinegar. What should i replace with that?
You can try with lemon juice
Helloooo mam… Tried this recipe with lemon juice coz I don’t have vinegar…. Though I didn’t get flat top…. But cake came out super moist and taste just awesome…. Thank you sooooooooo much mam sharing such a simple yet awesome recipe….
hello akka,
Can this same amount of batter be baked in 8×8 inch square pan?
That will be too big for this measure of batter
Can i use granulated sugar instead of crystal sugar ? If yes then what are the measurements? And can i melt the butterscotch chips instead of whole morsel in the recipe?
Thank you
Yes you can use but measurements am really not sure but guess the same should work.Yes you can melt the chips and use too.The ones we get here is more like praline with nutty texture.
Can the same recipe be made in a circular or square tin?
yes
If am using a round mould, how much time for baking?
Same time only the size of the pan only matters not the shape
