Last week when I went to Nilgiris I saw packs of Butterscotch chips and that reminded me of mittus sudden craze for butterscotch flavour so with no further thoughts got a pack of it and picked up the essence too.I have already tried Butterscotch Cake that was with eggs so thought to try a eggless version.I wanted to put it simple so repeated the same recipe that I tried already with minor modifications.,the cake came out so soft, I shared it with mittus friend and they loved it too and asked for the recipe.
You can see how soft the cake is.Cool down completely before slicing.

Mix 1:
Maida - 1 and 1/2 cupsBaking Powder - 1 tsp
Butterscotch Chips - 1/2 cup
Mix 2:
Sugar - 1 cupOil - 1/8 cup
Melted Butter - 1/8 cup
Butterscotch Essense - 1 tsp
Water - 1/2 cup
Mix 3:
Thick Curd - 1/2 cupVinegar - 1 tbsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Method:
- Measure and take maida and baking powder in a mixing bowl,whisk it well.Set aside.In another mixing bowl take sugar.
- Add water,oil and melted butter.
- Then add butterscotch essence.Whisk it well and stir till sugar dissolves completely, set aside.
- Now take thick curd in another mixing bowl,add baking soda and vinegar to it.
- Wait till it becomes frothy.Now add this to oil-water-sugar mixture(Mix 2).Whisk well.
- Now add flour little by little and keep whisking.
- Whisk well so that there are no lumps, it will form a creamy flowing batter.Now coat butterscotch chips with a tsp of flour and then add(I forgot it but recommend coating with flour to avoid sinking to the bottom).
- Mix once with a spatula.Now grease the loaf pan with oil,then sprinkle flour and tap off the excess flour.Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Top with butterscotch chips and Bake in preheated oven at 180 deg C for 45-50 mins or until a tooth pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean , you can also see the golden top.Cool down completely atleast for 30mins then invert to demould.After that leave for 30mins,then slice.
My Notes:
- The only mistake I did was : I forgot to coat the chips with flour so most of the chips sinked to the bottom.So I highly recommend mixing butterscotch chips with a tsp of flour.
- The batter is not advisable to rest, just mix and bake it immediately.So plan it accordingly such that you bake the entire batter in a single batch.
- You can add any chopped nuts of your choice.
- I used homemade yogurt.
- You can replace butterscotch essence with vanilla essence if you prefer.
- Use active baking soda which shows by foaming up immediately when you add it to curd.
