Valentine Butterscotch Cake for Two

Boy, do I have your Valentine’s Day Desserts or should I said treats sorted out this year? I posted some really cool quick recipes like my Breakfast Yogurt Parfait for two and my simple Chocolate Fudge Cake for two or my Easy Chocolate Mousse for two and of course there is also the simple easy and always appreciated Chocolate Covered Strawberries that never fail to impress  You know what the best part of these small recipes is?

No Leftover!! Yup!

Often I’m OK with my dessert but I hate waste so when I have leftovers guess who binges? ME!! And that is often not calculated in my list of acceptable treats!! Let’s face it I don’t count calories, never have but I still do keep a close eye on that balance. Need to keep that waist I work too so hard for. After all, I want to be a positive example to my kids right?

One of my absolute favorite flavors is Butterscotch. You probably already know that because I do have a few good butterscotch recipes here – Homemade Butterscotch Sauce, Butterscotch buttercream,  Butterscotch Cupcakes and I still have to share with you my ultimate Butterscotch Cake Recipe.. Coming soon, I promised.

The flavors of the muscovado sugar, butter and cream just seem to combine into this absolutely amazing combination. The molasses from the sugar has a unique flavor that’s not to be missed.

Baking in the oven or microwave?

This is one cake that I had no problem doing both methods without changing the recipe. I love this recipe so much that last winter we wanted to make it but had no free oven. I had my Lamb shoulder slow cooking and there is no way I wanted to put this is in there. So I made it in the microwave!! Was perfect! We loved it and yes we served it with ice cream and my homemade butterscotch sauces. Actually lots of butterscotch sauce. Yum!
