• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups buttermilk
• 1 cups butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and 0.5 cups of brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.

Step 6

Fold in the butterscotch chips gently using a spatula.

Step 7

To make the streusel topping, combine 0.5 cups of flour, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly.

Step 8

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
