Are you like me and like lots of sauce? And not a crazy amount, just a good amount? If I were you I’d make a double batch of it!
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a bundt pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- Cream together 1 c. butter, 2 c. sugar, and then add the eggs. Mix in the milk and vanilla.
- Alternately add the milk and flour mixture into the creamed mixture. Pour it into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 1 hour.
- To make the butter sauce: In a medium sauce pan on medium heat mix sugar, water, and butter. Bring to a low boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Then add the vanilla.
- While the cake is still very hot, leave it in the bundt pan and poke small holes in the top. Drizzle the butter sauce over the cake. Transfer to a serving dish or platter and dust with powdered sugar.
