Laura's Notes:

Oh so good, If you prefer your cake with more sauce , just make a double batch. It is heavenly

Comments from the Test Kitchen:

Ok, Laura's clearly knows the way to my heart: Kentucky, butter AND cake all in one recipe?! Woohoo... This sure is a treat and makes for such a splendid presentation! With just a slightly sweet flavor there's no fear of being sent into a sugar coma and it's pretty close to perfection served alongside a steaming cup of coffee. Mmmmm...

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour bundt pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, set aside.

Cream: 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar for about 5 minutes, Then blend in eggs one at a time.

Mix in buttermilk, and vanilla, adding alternately buttermilk and flour mixture into creamed mixture.

Pour in bundt pan and bake for 1 hour.

Butter Sauce: In medium sauce pan on medium heat mix sugar, water and butter, bring to low boil , stirring until sugar is dissolved, add vanilla,

When cake is still very hot, leave in bundt pan, poke small holes in top

Drizzle butter sauce over cake

Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!
