Tips and Variations:
- Add the butterscotch piesces and chopped pecans to the batter if you prefer and top the cake with powdered sugar, icing or another small bag of butterscotch chips mixed with more pecans.
- Of course you can also substitute chocolate chips for the butterscotch, or mix them half and half.
- Use chopped walnuts instead of pecans if you prefer. It will be delicious.
- Instead of putting the butterscotch morsels and pecans on the top you can add them to the batter once it is all mixed.
- You can change the nuts if you want. Chopped walnuts would be delicious in this recipe too, so if you have those on hand and thing you would like it, give it a try.
