This Butter Pecan Chocolate Chip Cake with Nutmeg Frosting  is a great cake to serve to family and friends or just anytime you want a great dessert. Sometimes you just need a quick cake and this is the perfect one. It starts with a cake mix, but when you add so many great additions like chocolate and butterscotch chips it takes a cake mix to a whole never level.

Eggs

Chocolate chips

Nuts, chopped (I used walnuts or pecans)

Butterscotch chips

For this cake you can really use whatever frosting you like and we have used both the vanilla frosting and cream cheese. You can always make homemade cream cheese frosting if you would like. This cake is super easy but absolutely delicious. I have taken this cake to many events and people always ask for the recipe. Perfect for tailgating too!
