Southern Butter Cake
Ingredients
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 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
1
Acquire all necessary components for the recipe.
2
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
3
Next, lubricate and coat a 10-inch Bundt mold with a thin layer of cooking spray or oil.
4
Now, prepare the cake mixture: Combine dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl.
5
Subsequently, blend the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients using an electric mixer on medium speed.
6
Continue mixing for 3 minutes to achieve a smooth consistency.
7
Pour the cake batter into the prepared Bundt mold.
8
Proceed to bake the cake in a preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour.
9
As the cake nears completion, prepare the butter sauce: Combine sugar, melted butter, water, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat.
10
Stir constantly until the ingredients are fully incorporated and melted; avoid boiling.
11
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven.
12
Using a fork or skewer, create small holes in the warm cake.
13
Slowly pour the butter sauce over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak in.
14
Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the Bundt mold, approximately 30 minutes.

Finally, indulge in your delicious creation!
