The Origin of Butterscotch and Cake: How they got infused into your Favourite Butterscotch Cake
There is no exact definition or origin of the concept of cake. According to the food historians, the predecessor of modern cakes online, round ones with icing, were first baked in Europe sometime in the mid-17th century with the help of advanced technology like more reliable ovens, manufacture, availability of food molds and ingredients. The first icing was usually a boiled composition of the finest available sugar, egg whites and also flavorings which was poured on the cake.
The term “Butterscotch” was first coined in Doncaster, a Yorkshire city in England, by Samuel Parkinson who began making candy in 1817. Butterscotch has long been used as a great topping on ice cream sundaes as well as a type of confectionary basically made with boiling sugar syrup, butter, cream, and lemon.
The Butterscotch Cake refers to a moist, brown sugar cake having a topping of butterscotch sauce which in turn is formed of butter, brown sugar and cream as well as buttercream made with thawed butterscotch chips.
Butterscotch neither comprises Caramel nor Scotch: Let’s know what it is:
There is a subtle difference between butterscotch and caramel which are the recipes of butterscotch. Its traditionally involve brown sugar and butter, whereas you can make caramel just by cooking white sugar until it caramelizes. Caramel has a more burnt flavour, but butterscotch is a bit sweeter in flavor because it doesn’t caramelize that much.
