Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
- 7 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
- 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
- 2/3 cup (6 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325°.
Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; dust with breadcrumbs.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly (sugar will not melt). Pour mixture into a large bowl; cool 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 3 tablespoons butter, cheese, and vanilla to bowl; beat with a mixer at low speed for 1 minute. Beat at high speed 4 minutes (mixture will not be smooth). Add the eggs and egg white, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 3 ingredients (flour through salt), stirring well with a whisk. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix after each addition.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted an inch from the edge comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sift powdered sugar over cake.

I, too, was disappointed. Not very butterscotch-y. Perhaps more butter should be used in the initial stage? (Probably wouldn't fall into the "light" category any more, though!). It was fine, but nothing to write home about.04/13/05

Went together quickly and looked nice once baked, but wasn't very spectacular tasting. Very mild butterscotch flavor, just tasted kind of like an average brown sugar cake. Good with a cup of tea or for a quick snack, but wouldn't be a very impressive dessert on it's own.07/28/04
