Ingredients
For the Cake:
3 tablespoons melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract or vanilla puree
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
For the Buttermilk Sauce:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) cubed butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
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
