Ingredients

12 servings

  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  • Make the cake: Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Blend in buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla with an electric mixer. Beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • When the cake is almost finished baking, make the butter sauce: Combine sugar, butter, water, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until fully melted and combined; do not boil.
  • Remove the cake from the oven. Prick holes in the still-warm cake, then slowly pour butter sauce over the top.
  • Let cake cool before removing from pan, about 30 minutes.
  • Enjoy!
