- 1 Teaspoon Butterscotch essence
- a pinch of salt
For the butterscotch sauce

Making butterscotch sauce
1. Keep all the ingredients ready before you start making sauce. The process is very quick , so you will burn the sauce if you don't keep all the ingredients measured and readily available2. In a Heavy bottomed pan, add butter and melt in a medium flame. Add brown sugar when the butter is half melted
3. Stir butter and brown sugar together. When the brown sugar melts completely and reached liquid form ( in about 2 min ) reduce the flame to low. Add heavy cream and stir everything together
4. Let the mixture cook on medium flame for 5 min , keep stirring the mixture once in a min
5. When the sauce is thickened enough , add vanilla extract and salt as required. Give it a good stir and switch off the flame
Serving the cake
1. Apply a generous coat of butterscotch sauce all over the cake top and sides. Decorate the cake with sprinkles and butterscotch chips or as desired

ReplyDeleteCake looks really very yummy.. just wanna know if i can use condense milk instead of curd.
ReplyDeleteHi Disha,
DeleteYes you can use condensed milk instead of curd. If the batter is too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of milk.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI wud like to knw tht the curd used is with h or without water
Hi Mehak Bhalla, The curd I used is homemade. I did not drain water from the curd. I used full cream milk to make natural plain curd. I boiled milk and left it at room temperature until the milk is warm. Then I added one tablespoon of curd culture to the milk and set aside at room temperature for 4 to 5 hours until the curd is set. Hope I answered your query. Please let me know.
