Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Prepare a 10 inch Bundt pan by spraying it with Pam Nonstick Spray for Baking very thoroughly, or grease the pan very well with softened butter.  I did have one tiny area that stuck to the pan, but I was able to cover it with a bit of powdered sugar.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar together on medium speed.  Add eggs one at a time and mix until incorporated.  Add vanilla and mix.
  • In a separate medium sized bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.  Slowly add 1/3 of the dry mixture at a time, alternating with the buttermilk.  Mix on low speed until everything is incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 65-75 minutes.  A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out cleanly.
  • To make the glaze, add the butter, sugar, water, and vanilla extract into a small pan.  Over medium heat, melt the butter and dissolve the sugar.  Poke holes with a knife into the cake and pour glaze over the top.  Allow the cake to cool completely, and then turn out onto a cake stand or platter.
