  1. NCKansas Girl REVIEW:

    One taste about forty years ago made me fall in love with the Chocolate Chip Cake with Butterscotch filling. I've made it for almost that many years for my childrens' birthdays. They ask for it every year. I think it tastes best the next morning when I sneak a slice with coffee for breakfast! Yes!

  2. E R Alltop REVIEW:

    Got this recipe years ago from a beloved college roommate who has since passed away. We make it every New Years in her memory. It’s a winner.

  3. Dessert Diva REVIEW:

    Made this for labor day weekend and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it! The filling is wonderful.
