    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.

    AuthorSharmilee J

    Ingredients

    Mix 1:

    • 1 and 1/2 cups maida
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips

    Mix 2:

    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1/8 cup oil
    • 1/8 cup melted butter
    • 1 teaspoon butterscotch essence
    • 1/2 cup water

    Mix 3:

    • 1/2 cup thick curd
    • 1 tablespoon vinegar
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

    Instructions

    • 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 teaspoon of flour and then add. 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 and top with butterscotch chips.
    • 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 at least for 30mins then invert to de-mould. After that leave for 30mins, then slice.
    • Enjoy Butterscotch Cake!

    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 teaspoon 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.

      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. 🙂
