Recipe passed to me a few months ago by an aunt. Make sure to use high quality cocoa for a richer flavor. This will keep well in a fridge and can be reheated in the microwave (covered loosely with a paper towel or napkin).

Categories     Desserts     Cakes

Time 1h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
⅓ cup packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter, softened
5 ½ cups powdered sugar
⅓ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating briefly after each addition.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt in a large bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in 3 batches, alternating with milk, beating batter briefly after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extracts; beat until smooth.
  • Transfer about 1/3 of the batter to a small bowl and divide it evenly amongst the prepared cake pans.
  • Add brown sugar and cinnamon to remaining batter and beat until well mixed. Pour into the cake pans and swirl with a spoon to mix slightly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • While cakes are cooling, cream butter for the frosting in a large bowl. Slowly add 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar; beat until mixed. Add remaining powdered sugar alternately with milk and vanilla extract. Beat until frosting is smooth and reaches a thick spreading consistency.
  • Frost and stack layers of cake and sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the cake to be tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can cause the cake to be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This cinnamon butterscotch swirl cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist and flavorful cake is swirled with a rich and creamy butterscotch filling, and the cinnamon adds a warm and inviting flavor. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
