Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream together butter, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping down the sides halfway through. Pour in prepared Bundt pan.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 325 degrees for 60 minutes. In the last 10 minutes prepare glaze. Poke wholes in the warm cake with a skewer and drizzle on 1/2 of the glaze. Let cake cool COMPLETELY before removing from Bundt pan. Once removed, re-heat glaze over low heat and brush over entire cake until there is no glaze left.
