Ingredients:

• 3 cups / 13 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup buttermilk or fermented milk
• 1 cup butter, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 4 large eggs

Sauce:

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup butter
• 3 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

How To Make Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add buttermilk, 1 cup butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and eggs. Beat on low speed until moistened, then increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for an additional 3 minutes. Spoon the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. While the cake bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the 3/4 cup sugar, 1/3 cup butter, 3 tablespoons water, and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Cook and stir until the butter is melted, but do not bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Once the cake is done, remove it to a wire rack. While still in the pan, pierce the cake with a fork or skewer. Pour the hot butter sauce over the hot cake.
