👩🍳 How to Make Kentucky Butter Cake
1. Prep the Pan & Dry Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large bowl, cream 1 cup butter and 2 cups sugar for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
3. Add Buttermilk & Dry Mix:
Add vanilla extract.
Mix in buttermilk and dry flour mixture alternately, starting and ending with the dry mix. Blend until just combined.
4. Bake the Cake:
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
5. Make the Butter Sauce:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup water, and ½ cup butter.
Bring to a low boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
6. Soak the Cake:
While the cake is still hot and in the pan, poke small holes all over the top using a skewer or toothpick.
Slowly drizzle the warm butter sauce over the cake, letting it soak in.
7. Cool & Serve:
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan so it absorbs all the sauce.
Invert onto a serving plate once cool.
8. Enjoy!
Serve with a hot cup of coffee or tea ☕. This cake is rich, buttery, moist, and full of old-fashioned Southern flavor!
