If you read Keeper of the Lost Cities, you know what this is. This gooey butterscotch-y and chocolaty cake is the favorite food of many an elf!

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup butter

• 2 cups butterscotch chips (divided)

• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar

• 2 eggs

• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 3 cups miniature marshmallows (divided)

• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (divided)

• 1 14 oz can of sweetened & condensed milk 

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 


2. Grease a 9×13 inch metal baking pan. 


3. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of the butterscotch chips with the butter in the 
microwave. It’s easiest to work in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Set aside to cool. (Note: Do not over-melt! It’s okay if a few lumps remain.) 

4. In a large bowl, stir the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined. 

5. In a small bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. 

6. When the butterscotch mixture has cooled, pour it into the large bowl and stir to combine 
with the brown sugar/egg/vanilla mixture. Add the flour mixture and stir until just mixed. 


7. Stir in 2 cups of the marshmallows, 1 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of the butterscotch chips. 

8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Top with the remaining marshmallows, chocolate, and butterscotch chips, scattering evenly. Drizzle the entire can of sweetened & condensed milk evenly over the top. 


9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Top will be browned but still quite gooey. 


10. Cool, completely (at least 2-3 hours) and serve!
