Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or spray it with a non-stick baking spray to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
Add the softened butter, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and mix for 3-4 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
3. Bake the Cake:
Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
4. Prepare the Butter Glaze:
While the cake is cooling, prepare the butter glaze.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and water.
Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Glaze the Cake:
Using a skewer or a long toothpick, poke holes all over the warm cake while it’s still in the pan. This will allow the glaze to soak into the cake.
Slowly pour the warm butter glaze over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes and covers the surface evenly.
Let the cake sit in the pan for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the glaze to absorb fully.
6. Remove and Serve:
After the glaze has absorbed, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature. This cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips for Success
Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and buttermilk are at room temperature. This helps create a smooth, even batter and a tender crumb in the finished cake.
Even Coating: When pouring the glaze over the cake, take your time to ensure it covers the entire surface and seeps into the holes you’ve poked. This step is key to getting that rich, buttery flavor throughout the cake.
Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cake will continue to absorb the glaze, making it even more flavorful over time.
Make It Your Own: For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter or the glaze. You can also sprinkle powdered sugar over the top before serving for a beautiful finish
