Yes, you can use regular butterscotch pudding if you prefer. The sugar-free option is used to reduce the sweetness slightly, but the choice is yours.
You can use any sweet and crisp apple variety such as Gala, Honeycrisp, or Fuji. These apples work well to complement the cake’s flavor.
While cream soda adds a unique flavor, you can substitute it with sparkling apple cider or even a lemon lime soda for a similar effect.
Store the cake in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for a few days. However, it’s the best the first two days.
Yes, you can experiment with gluten-free flour to make this cake suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Ensure you use an appropriate gluten-free flour blend for the best results.
Apple Cake with butterscotch and cream soda
The combination of butterscotch and apples may be new to you. Typically, apples blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. However, this cake is so good and unique! The cake is tender but not overly sweet and the frosting adds just enough sweetness to have you reaching back for ‘just one more bite.’
Furthermore, these recipes get rave reviews from readers. Butterscotch Marshmallow Bars and Butterbeer Pound Cake both have the buttery goodness that defines butterscotch.
Rumchata is another ‘new’ flavor. Rumchata is sweet cream, cinnamon, and vanilla flavored liquor. I made Rumchata Pound Cake and Rumchata Caramel Martini that’ll blow your doors off!

Whether you’re planning a Harry Potter-themed party or simply want to satisfy your sweet tooth, this magical treat is sure to enchant your taste buds.
