Recipe: Barnyard Barbie’s Apple Butterscotch Cake

Guest post from fellow blogger Barnyard Barbie. (She’s good people so go check out her blog!) I’ve got a big box of apples that I’ll convert into this yummy cake very soon. 

When Cat posted the yummy pic of these apples and asked for our favorite recipes, I just had to share mine! I trade my farm fresh eggs for fresh-off-the-tree apples and pears from a local producer (it’s a great trade). So I tend to have a lot of recipes that use apples and pears. Here is Apple Butterscotch Cake…and it is delicious!

You need:

2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
1 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon (I tend to do a heaping teaspoon–who doesn’t love a little extra?)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 cup oil
3 eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups apples (diced or shredded)
1 bag of butterscotch chips

Mix the dry ingredients together. Stir all the wet ingredients together into the dry, adding the apples last, reserve the chips for later. Pour the patter into a 9×13 baking pan (or bundt pan) and sprinkle the chips on top. Bake at 350 for about 40-50 minutes. Your house will smell delicious!

Note: on the apples, just core them and throw them in a food processor with the peels on. Its tastes just fine…and I’ve never had anyone say “hey are there peels in here?”…their mouth is usually full 🙂
