Instructions

Gather all the necessary ingredients for this delicious Kentucky butter cake recipe.
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare a 10-inch Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
To make the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using an electric mixer, blend in the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed for approximately 3 minutes until well combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, usually around 1 hour. Keep a close eye on it to prevent over-baking.
As the cake nears completion, prepare the butter sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, water, and vanilla extract. Cook and stir continuously until the ingredients are fully melted and well combined. Ensure the mixture doesn't boil.
Once the cake is removed from the oven, gently prick holes in the top of the still-warm cake. Slowly and evenly pour the prepared butter sauce over the entire surface, allowing it to soak into the cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely before attempting to remove it from the Bundt pan, this usually takes about 30 minutes. This ensures it holds its shape.
Serve and enjoy this delightful Kentucky Butter Cake! Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.
