This is an easy one-bowl recipe! If you prefer more sauce on the cake, then the butter sauce can easily be doubled. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
2 cups sugar (or more, depending on how sweet you like it) |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup butter, room temperature (no substitutions) |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
4 large eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup butter (no substitutions) |
3 tablespoons water |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or a 12-cup bundt pan.
3. In a large bowl combine all cake ingredients; beat on low speed until moistened, then beat for another 3 minutes at medium speed.
4. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until cake tests done.
6. For the butter sauce; in a saucepan, over low heat combine all sauce ingredients; cook just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally (do not boil).
7. When cake is done remove from oven and pierce all over cake with a large fork or a long thin straw; pour the sauce all over the warm cake.
8. Let stand 5 minutes, or until sauce is absorbed.
