Butterscotch Pecan Cake

This Butterscotch Pecan Cake is super buttery and rich. It's filled with butterscotch chips and pecans and is so easy to put together. 

 

This butterscotch cake is loaded with butterscotch chips and toasted pecans. It's super moist, and includes both butter and plain full fat yogurt, along with eggs, sugar, and flour. 

The cake is super sweet and is much like a pound cake... rich and delicious. 

This cake is the next installment for Cake Slice Bakers. We are baking our way through the cake book, Everyday Little Cakes by Candace Floyd. 

When I first sliced into this cake, I was a little bit disappointed at the smear of butterscotch chips in the cake, until I took another look at the photo in the book, which also include streaks of butterscotch chips. 

Alrighty then, it was supposed to look like this!

This cake is very tasty and super easy to put together. You don't need a mixer either. 

How to make Butterscotch Pecan Cake:

First, melt the butter and then let it cool.

Next, mix the eggs, sugar, and yogurt and then add the dry ingredients. Finally, stir in the butterscotch chips and toasted pecans and bake everything in a loaf pan. 

The only adjustment I made was to add some vanilla to the batter.
