Cake
2/3 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup water
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup buttermilk*
1/2 cup shortening
3 eggs

Filling
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup half-and-half or evaporated milk
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 tbsp margarine or butter
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped nuts

Sea Foam Cream
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.** In small saucepan over low heat, melt 2/3 cup butterscotch chips in 1/4 cup water, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly.

Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In large bowl, combine flour, all remaining cake ingredients and cooled butterscotch mixture; beat at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed. Pour batter into greased and floured pans. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans. Cool 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

In medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch; stir in half-and-half, 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup butterscotch chips and 1 egg. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in margarine, coconut and nuts; cool slightly.

In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add brown sugar and vanilla, beating until stiff peaks form.

To assemble cake, place 1 cake layer, top side down, on serving plate. Spread with half of filling mixture. Top with second layer, top side up; spread remaining filling on top to within 1/2 inch of edge. Frost sides and top edge of cake with sea foam cream. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Store in refrigerator.
