Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla puree
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For the Buttermilk Sauce:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cubed butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing for a tender cake.

  2. Grease a 10-inch baking pan (or bundt pan) with oil or non-stick spray.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling it evenly.
  4. Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
