Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 cup shortening

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 round layer pans, 8 or 9 1/2 inches.

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!

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