Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 3 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons hot water
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth.
   • Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
   • Add the eggs all at once and beat at high speed until the mixture becomes thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
   • Pour in the buttermilk and blend thoroughly.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

   • In a separate small bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

   • Add the dry ingredients to the batter all at once, then beat for at least 10 minutes until the batter becomes thick and creamy.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.

4. Preheat and Grease:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
   • Generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan.

5. Bake the Cake:

   • Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when lightly touched in the center.

6. Prepare the Butter Sauce:

   • While the cake is baking, prepare the butter sauce by combining the brown sugar, granulated sugar, hot water, and butter in a saucepan.
   • Stir over low heat until the butter is melted, being careful not to boil.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

7. Finish and Serve:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes after baking.
   • Using a long skewer or needle, poke deep holes all over the cake.
   • Slowly pour the warm butter sauce over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and down the sides.
   • Cool the cake completely before removing it from the pan.
   • If desired, sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.
