Butterscotch Apple Cake Ingredients Needed:
Self-Rising Flour
Ground Cinnamon
Ground Cloves
Ginger
Nutmeg
White Granulated Sugar
Eggs
Oil
Vanilla Extract
Buttermilk
Apples ( I use red delicious, but you can use what you like)
Butterscotch Chips
Pecans or Walnuts
Butterscotch Frosting Ingredients
Butterscotch Chips
Milk
Butter
Powdered sugar
The four spices in this cake, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger, give this cake a wonderful flavor. As you can see from the photos, we just poured the icing over the top, and it turned out really pretty. We also topped the icing with a few nuts just to give it a little texture, which I think turned out great.
This is the only way we have made this cake; I have not tried it with regular milk; I have only made it with buttermilk. The fat in the buttermilk is a great addition to this cake, and we enjoy cooking with buttermilk. If you don’t want to buy a container of buttermilk, then you can use this recipe here to make a quick substitute.
