Making Cake
Take wheat flour, baking powder and baking soda in a sieve.

Keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Add flour in batches to frothy milk mixture.
Mix nicely without lumps will everything is combined.
Add the butterscotch sauce and mix.
Prepare the baking tin with butter and sprinkle some flour.
Pour the cake mixture to baking tin and tap the sides to remove any air.
Take pressure cooker and place the plate in the bottom.

Then place the baking tray in cooker
Bake in low flame for 50-55 minutes till tooth pick inserted in center comes our clean.
Cool the cake completely and cut the cake into two layers.
Sugar Syrup
Take ½ cup of water and add 1 tbsp of sugar and mix nicely till sugar is dissolved. sugar syrup is ready.
Whipped Cream Frosting
Prepare the Whipped Cream frosting as per the recipe
I used brown sugar and butterscotch essence instead of vanilla essence to prepare butterscotch flavored whipped cream.
Praline
Prepare the Praline as per instructions
I used cashews this time. You can use any nuts.
Decorating
Take any plate and place the layer of cake.
Place some parchment paper in the sides of cake so excess cream can be removed easily later.
Sprinkle some sugar syrup to make the cake moist.
Apply layer of whipped cream and spread evenly.
Sprinkle layer of praline on the top
Place the second layer of cake on the top and sprinkle sugar syrup.
Apply whipped cream frosting to cover the cake and decorate as per your wish.
I coated with praline on sides and top and made some decorations using whipped cream
Finally drizzled butterscotch sauce all over the cake.
Now the Butterscotch Cake is ready.
Notes
If you are baking in oven, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake in the same temperature for 45-50 minutesYou can use ready made butterscotch chips instead of PralineAdd yellow color to get the same color as you get in shopsFreeze the cake till cutting as whipped cream cakes needs to be kept in fridgeAllow the cake to cool completely before cutting to get neat slicesYou can skip the whipped cream and decorate only with butterscotch sauce and Praline too
