Preparation

Step 1

Beat butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in buttermilk. Mix dry ingredients and slowly incorporate into liquid mixture.
Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 55-70 minutes. (40-45 minutes in a convection oven)

SAUCE
Melt the sugar, butter and water in a small sauce pan. (I let mine come to a boil for a couple of minutes). Remove from heat and add the vanilla.

When the cake is done, poke holes in the bottom of the cake and pour ½ of the butter sauce over the cake and into the holes. Wait for 5 minutes, then turn the cake out and baste with the remaining sauce.
