Cake batter ingredients
3 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs
½ tsp. baking soda

Sauce ingredients
¾ cup sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
⅓ cup butter
3 Tbsp. water

In a large bowl cream 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar using a hand mixer. Mix in buttermilk, 2 tsp. vanilla extract and eggs. Using a hand mixer, combine flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour batter into greased and floured 10 inch Bundt cake pan and bake in the oven at 325° for 1 hour, or until no batter sticks when inserting a wooden toothpick into center of cake.

While cake batter is baking, prepare the butter sauce in a saucepan. Combine ¾ cups sugar, ⅓ cup butter, 2 tsp. vanilla, and water and cook over medium heat until sauce is melted. Do not boil. Prick holes into still warm cake then slowly pour sauce over entire top of cake. Allow to cool before removing from pan. Makes 12 servings.
