Classic Vanilla Butter Cake with Buttermilk Sauce

Ingredients

Regarding the Cake:
Three teaspoons of melted butter
Two-thirds cup of sugar

Four large eggs, slightly chilled at room temperature
Two teaspoons of vanilla puree or extract
Three cups of all-purpose flour
One teaspoon of baking soda
Half a teaspoon of baking powder
Half a teaspoon of salt
One cup of buttermilk
Regarding the Buttermilk Sauce:
One cup of sugar
60 milliliters, or 1/4 cup, cubed butter
1/4 cup of water
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Get the cake batter ready.
    Beat the melted butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until they are light and creamy.
    One by one, add the eggs, beating thoroughly after each addition to ensure complete incorporation.
    Make sure the mixture is smooth and fragrant before adding the vanilla extract.
    Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a another basin.
    Alternating with the buttermilk, gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just till blended, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients. Don’t overmix if you want a soft cake.
  2. Prepare the cake.
    Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F).
    Use oil or non-stick spray to coat a 10-inch baking pan (also known as a bundt pan).
    Fill the prepared pan to the brim with batter.
    A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean after 55 to 70 minutes of baking.
    After taking the cake out of the oven, let it cool in the pan for ten minutes.
  3. Prepare the sauce with buttermilk.
    Put the water, diced butter, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat.
    Stir constantly until all of the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

After taking the pot off of the burner, stir in the vanilla essence. When stirring near open flames, exercise caution.

  1. Put the Cake Together
    To release the cake, carefully run a knife around the pan’s edges. Over a sheet of waxed paper, invert it onto a wire rack.
    Make tiny punctures in the cake using a fork or skewer.
    Cover the cake with 1/4 cup of the prepared buttermilk sauce and let it soak.
    For the cake to absorb the sauce completely, let it stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Present and Savor
    Cut the cake into slices and serve warm or room temperature.
    For an even more luscious experience, drizzle more sauce over each slice.

If preferred, serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
