From scratch cakes are my favorite, but sometimes shortcuts are called for. This Butterscotch Marble Cake is made from boxed cake mix and instant butterscotch pudding mix. Thanks to these convenience products, it only takes minutes to get this cake ready to go in the oven and you can be assured it will come out of the oven flavorful and moist. As long as you are careful not to overbake it that is.
