Homemade butterscotch sauce and ice cream transform moist, fudgy cake into an ice-cream parlor treat.
Prep: 20 min – Bake: 35 min – Cool: 10 min
Butterscotch Sauce (below)
1 package Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® creamy swirls of fudge chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup water
1/2 stick margarine or butter, softened (1/4 cup)
2 eggs
Ice cream
1. Make Butterscotch Sauce; set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350ºF (metal or glass pan). Grease (or use cooking spray) bottom of 8- or 9-inch square pan. Beat cake mix, water, margarine and eggs in large bowl on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl, or stir 2 minutes by hand. (Do not overbeat; batter may be slightly lumpy.) Spead in pan.
3. See directions on Fudge pouch. Squeeze fudge onto batter in 4 lines, using all the fudge. Place tip of knife on bottom of pan, and draw across all lines of fudge in 7 or 8 back-and- forth motions as shown on package.
4. Bake 8-inch pan 30 to 35 minutes, 9-inch pan 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. (Decease bake time by 2 to 3 minutes if using dark, nonstick or glass pan.) Cool at least 10 minutes before serving.
5. Serve cake warm or cool with ice cream and sauce.
