Instructions
 

Prepare the Butterscotch Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until dissolved. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Set aside ½ cup of sauce for drizzling, and keep the rest warm.

    Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

        Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

          Mix the Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

              Bake the Cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Drizzle ½ cup of the warm butterscotch sauce over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Once cooled, serve slices of the cake drizzled with the reserved butterscotch sauce. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired.
