FAQ

Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes! Bake the cake layers a day in advance and store tightly covered. Frost and assemble on the day you plan to serve.

Can I use a different type of sugar?
Brown sugar gives the cake its signature butterscotch flavor, but you can substitute half with white sugar if needed.

Can this be made gluten-free?
Yes, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
