Ingredients:

Cake

  • 1 cup butter, cubed at room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Butter Glaze

  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions:

  1. Prepare your cake pan by generously greasing it with butter or shortening. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, kosher salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  2. In a stand mixer, blend the cake ingredients on low for 30 seconds. Then, increase the speed to medium and continue mixing for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and allow it to sit for 65-75 minutes. Once a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, remove the cake from the pan.
  4. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt the butter and combine it with sugar, water, and vanilla. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. To enhance the cake’s flavor, use a knife to poke holes all over it while it’s still in the pan. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake while it’s still warm. Let it cool in the pan, and then carefully remove it before serving. Many prefer making this cake a day ahead to ensure it’s moist and full of flavor when served.
