This Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake is Out of This World!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. Add buttermilk, softened butter, vanilla, and eggs.

4. Beat on low speed until just combined, then increase to medium speed for 3 minutes until smooth.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

1. Pour batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top.

2. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Step 3: Make the Salted Caramel Sauce

1. While the cake bakes, melt sugar, butter, water, and vanilla in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. (Do not boil.)

2. (Optional: Stir in sea salt for extra depth.)

Step 4: Soak the Cake in Caramel

1. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

2. Poke holes all over with a skewer, then slowly pour the warm caramel sauce over the top, letting it seep in.

Final Touch

Let the cake cool slightly before inverting onto a plate. The caramel will create a glossy, buttery glaze that makes every bite divine.
