Butterscotch is sweet and indulgent, it’s a flavour combination that combines that of browned butter, molasses, and caramelized sugar. That's a lot of sugar, but for this Glazed Butterscotch Chip Bundt Cake, I'm willing to make the exception. Besides, calories don't count at Christmastime!

Ingredients

For the Cake:

1½ cups sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups butterscotch chips

For the Glaze:

1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup butterscotch chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan by lightly coating the interior with cooking spray and lightly sprinkling flour over the entire surface. Tap out the excess flour. Set prepared bundt pan aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Using a handheld mixer, mix all ingredients together.
Add the eggs one at a time to the batter and beat well after each addition.
Next, add the buttermilk and beat into the batter. Just beat to incorporate; do not beat long enough to add volume or frothiness to the batter.
Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Beat until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet ingredients.
Add the butterscotch chips and fold into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake the bundt for 45 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a wooden toothpick into the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, bake for another 2-3 minutes and check again.
Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack to completely cool.
When completely cooled, whisk together the confectioner's sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the surface of the cake. Top with extra butterscotch chips. The icing will harden up in about 10 minutes. Slice and enjoy!
