butterscotch zucchini cake

I don't recall where I found this recipe originally, but it is so good, I've handed it out to nearly everyone I know!

You don't ice this cake, the butterscotch forms a pseudo-icing.

ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups cake flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 3 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 1 cup butterscotch chips (about 1/2 bag)

method

Sift flour, sugar, soda, powder, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl

Add eggs and oil and mix well.

Add zucchini and mix.

Add nuts and mix.

TIP: The easiest way to chop nuts is to stick them in a heavy plastic bag (like a ziploc) and hammer them.

Pour into a buttered rectangular cake pan.

Sprinkle butterscotch chips on top of batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
