This cake will give you break from the usual plain or chocolate pound cake. The rich flavors of butterscotch and coffee are delicious, and the texture is excellent. This will become one of your favorite pound cakes.
The trickiest part of this recipe is melting the butterscotch morsels in the double boiler. This is a big cake, so size your Bundt pan appropriately. Use a 12-cup Bundt pan.
