Recipe based on Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess.
Big news! I've finally set up an online store for local deliveries and collection (Stockholm only).
I am just as surprised as everyone, as I have no real inclination to make a profit from baking, or indeed a living from it either. A friend directed to me a lovely site called Tictail.com, which gives you free online store space to set up a shop and sell items that you advertise.

Not one to blow my own trumpet, but in my category, my shop looks pretty polished, even though there are many things to improve.

| Twins! |
Anyhoo, as of 08/11/15, I have received two orders. One was for a chocolate layer cake that I will wax lyrical about in another post, and the other order was for a bumper 6 items!
One of the items in this order is... you guessed it, the Butterscotch Layer Cake that this post is named for!

| Lovely smooth batter |
This was the second time I'm making it, however I was fairly confident, although some doubt lay in the oven in the flat I am currently renting, and am still yet to get used to. It's a hasty oven, so I have been extra vigilant after 2/3 of the baking time has passed as I have been burnt before. As were two of my cakes.

The cake is intended to be a naked one, so unlike my first attempt, I decided to present it that way, and instead of being governed by the quantity of icing and caramel I had made, I was governed instead by the aesthetic. Kinda. You know me, not one for frou frou. They looked better than the first attempt anyway. In a manufactured sort of way.

Anyhoo, they* turned out well, I was pleased, I will hopefully update with pictures of The Cut later.

| Nice Slice |
*They were twins! Otherwise known as two cakes made at the same time!
