Butterscotch Cake with Ooey Gooey Butterscotch Ganache
This decadent Butterscotch Ganache cake is just fabulous for your someone special. It feels great to bake this cake at home if that someone special is none other than your beloved Husband.
Yes, I surprised my husband last month with his favorite Butterscotch Ganache cake on his birthday. Birthdays are always special. Though it was his special day, it was equally momentous for me when he was beyond impressed with this surprise of mine.
It’s very important for a food blogger to have a very understanding and tolerant life-partner. I am proud to say that I got one because he has shown immense patience and tolerance towards all my kitchen experiments and always gave a pat on my back even when the experiments were a disaster. Lol!!!
My girls kept me very busy during the past weeks and I almost forgot to post the recipe for this awesome cake. Thanks to my friend who reminded me of this pending post. She liked this cake’s picture on my facebook page and needed the recipe for his husband’s upcoming birthday. So, here you go, my very sweet friend!!!
It’s a very Moist cake, covered in butterscotch icing, dripping with a rich, butterscotch ganache that will make anyone’s mouth water. Brown sugar’s smooth molasses flavor and butterscotch’s buttery goodness shine through in a rich and decedent ganache, topped with chocolate chips.
I have used one 6-inch round and deep cake pan and then I sliced the cake in half and layered with ganache icing. And for writing the birthday message on the top of the cake, I have used Wilton’s candy melts. They are available in all colors. It’s very easy to use them. All you need to do is just melt them and put in the piping bag. You can have fun writing your favorite messages with them.
