Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

5. Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

2. Make the Butterscotch Sauce:

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Continue to boil for 3-4 minutes, then remove from heat.

4. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

3. Prepare the Fudge Frosting:

1. In a heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter.

2. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

3. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until it reaches a spreadable consistency, about 30 minutes.
