Easy way to savvy up yellow cake mix!
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups water
2/3 cup butterscotch chips
layer-size 2-layer-size yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup cooking oil
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup butterscotch chips (melted and cooled)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, heat water and the butterscotch-flavored pieces together until the pieces are just melted. Cool for about 10 minutes. Grease and flour two 8x1-1/2-inch round baking pans or two 9x1-1/2-inch round baking pans. Set the pans aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, cinnamon, and butterscotch mixture. Beat with electric mixer, as directed for cake mix. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 25 minutes for 9-inch layers or 35 minutes for 8-inch layers or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans. Cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
4. Frosting: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat in enough additional powdered sugar (about 1 cup) to make the frosting spreadable.
5. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spread top with some of the Butterscotch Frosting. Place second layer on top. Spread side and top of cake with frosting. Store in refrigerator.
