Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 c scant cup of water
1 c scant cup sour cream
1/2 c cinnamon sugar
1 box jello butterscotch pudding mix

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 Use oil spray and spray a bundt pan well. Do not use spray with flour. Coat pan with Cinnamon sugar.
  • 2. Into a mixing bowl add cake mix, eggs, oil, water and sour cream. The batter should be alittle thick. Mix well.
  • 3. Place half the batter into prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle that layer with cinnamon sugar. Place remaining batter on top. Using a knife swirl the cinnamon through both layers.
  • 4. Bake 350 for 48 minutes cool for a few minutes. Loosen cake from pan and turn out on cake plate.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly and have a smooth texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt). Then, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Divide the cake batter in half. In one half, stir in the butterscotch chips. In the other half, stir in the cocoa powder.
  • Spoon the two batters into the prepared cake pan, alternating colors. Swirl the batters together with a knife or toothpick to create a marbled effect.
  • Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
