Preparation
1. Prepare the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
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. Bake the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 10-inch baking pan (or bundt pan) with oil or non-stick spray.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, filling it evenly.
Bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
3. Make the Buttermilk Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cubed butter, and water.
Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts completely.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Be cautious around open flames while stirring.
