    1. Thanks @Pratishtha for liking my post. Here is the recipe. Decoration of fruits and choice is yours.

      Ingredients

      225g softened butter
      125g Sugar
      100g Caster Sugar
      4 large eggs
      225g self-raising flour
      2 tsp vanilla extract
      2 tbsp milk, if needed
      400g full-fat cream cheese

      For the butterscotch sauce

      50g butter
      75g Sugar
      50g Granulated Sugar
      150g runny honey
      120ml double cream
      1 tsp vanilla extract

      METHOD
      How to make butterscotch sponge cake

      1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5. Grease and line the bases of 2 x 20cm sandwich tins with non-stick baking paper. (you can also make one cake and cut from middle)

      2. Make the sauce. Put the butter, both sugars and the honey in a pan and stir over a low heat for 10-15 minutes until smooth. Stir in the cream and vanilla extract and cool.

      3. Meanwhile, make the cake. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon until soft. Add the sugars and beat together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a dessertspoonful of flour with each egg. Beat in the vanilla. Fold in the remaining flour and a little milk, if necessary, to give a mixture that drops reluctantly off the spoon.

      4. Divide the mixture between the tins and bake for about 25 minutes until they start to shrink from the sides and a skewer inserted into the centres comes away clean. Sit on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto the rack and leave until completely cold.

      5. Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until smooth, then beat in 8 tablespoons of the sauce. Place 1 cake on a serving plate and spread with half the frosting. Place the other cake on top and cover with the rest of the frosting. Drizzle another 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce over the top of the cake.

      Takes 50 minutes to make and 25 minutes to bake

      I hope this helps. Happy Cooking :)
