HOMEMADE BUTTERSCOTCH CAKE RECIPE

If you bake it in a 9x13 pan or bundt pan, bake 50-55 minutes - check it after 45 minutes.




Included with my butterscotch cake recipe, as promised, is my butterscotch filling recipe.

BUTTERSCOTCH FILLING

3 TBS butter
1-1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup boiling water
3 egg yolks
1-1/2 cups milk
6 TBS flour
1/2 tsp salt

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add the brown sugar and whisk together; allowing the mixture to brown. Gradually add the boiling water. Beat in the egg yolks. Now add 1/2 cup of the milk with all of the flour. Whisk well until smooth. Slowly pour in the remaining milk; whisking continuously. Pour this into the sugar mixture and cook until thick. Allow to cool before filling the cake.
