Kentucky Butter Cake

Kentucky Butter Cake
1 cup butter, cubed at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 T. vanilla
3 c. all purpose flour
1 t. salt
1 t. baking powder
½ t. baking soda
1 c. buttermilk
Butter Glaze
⅓ c. butter
¾ c. granulated sugar
2 T. water
2 t. vanilla

Spray a 10" bundt pan very liberally. 

Place all the cake ingredients in the mixer bowl. Mix on low for 30 seconds and on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 325 for 65-75 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Glaze the cake while still warm & before removing from bundt pan.  To make the glaze combine all ingredients into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.

Poke holes all over the warm cake using a knife and pour the glaze evenly on the cake.

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate.  Dust lightly with powdered sugar.

Great when made a day in advance, it becomes more moist and flavorful when it rests overnight.

Dust lightly with powdered sugar.  Serve with berry sauce.
