1 Coat a 9x9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2 In a medium bowl, whisk together cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, and 1 cup of the water until combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
3 In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, butterscotch chips, and flour. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cake batter. In a heatproof liquid measuring cup, microwave the remaining 1 cup of water on high until hot but not boiling, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Pour evenly over the sugar-chips-flour mixture, making sure no dry spots remain; do not stir.
4 Bake until the edges are set, the cake is golden brown, and the center jiggles just slightly when you nudge the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Refrigerate leftovers, tightly covered, for up to 5 days. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
