Grandma only made this once a year—and you had to earn it. Butterscotch cake so rich it hums, with a caramel frosting that melts on contact. I found her recipe card last fall, baked it for Thanksgiving, and no one touched the pie.

For the Butterscotch Cake:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
