Top that layer with half of the red velvet pound cake batter. Spread evenly.

Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes before inverting the cake on serving tray.

On medium heat, in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, bring sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, butter, and corn syrup to a low boil.
Stir constantly for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Whisk until smooth.
If the glaze is too thick to drizzle over cake, add whole milk 1 tablespoon at a time until thin enough to pour. Frosting will thicken as it cools.
Serve immediately. Store in an airtight container.
