Ingredients:
For the Cake:
3 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla puree
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
For the Buttermilk Sauce:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) cubed butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
Beat sugar and melted butter together until light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in vanilla extract for a fragrant finish.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually combine dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
2. Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 10-inch baking pan (or bundt pan) with non-stick spray.
Pour the batter evenly into the pan.
Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes.
3. Make the Buttermilk Sauce
Combine sugar, cubed butter, and water in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the sugar dissolves and butter melts.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
4. Assemble the Cake
Carefully release the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack over wax paper.
Poke small holes in the cake with a skewer or fork.
Drizzle 1/4 cup of buttermilk sauce over the cake to soak in. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Add extra buttermilk sauce, whipped cream, or fresh berries for a decadent experience!
