Butterscotch Swirl Cake

Source: Taste of Home Magazine

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 tsp. rum extract
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 package instant butterscotch pudding mix (3.4oz.)
  • 3/4 cup butterscotch ice cream topping
Butterscotch Glaze:
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. milk
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 5 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts.

Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Transfer 2 cups of batter to another large mixing bowl; beat in the pudding mix, butterscotch topping and remaining egg until well blended. Pour half of the plain batter into a greased and floured 10 inch fluted tube pan. Top with half of the butterscotch batter; cut through with a knife to swirl. Repeat layers and swirl.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Coll for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. For glaze, in a small saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar and milk. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; add confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over cake; sprinkle with pecans.
