Kentucky Bourbon Butter Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with baking spray with flour.

Step 2

Using an electric stand mixer, beat butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed just until incorporated. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl a couple of times.

Step 4

Beat in vanilla.

Step 5

In a medium bowl whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Step 6

Add flour mixture to butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with buttermilk and beating on low speed just until incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

Step 8

During the last 10 minutes that the cake is baking, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is dissolved.

Step 9

When cake is done, remove it from the oven and poke holes in the top. Slowly pour half the glaze over the cake, letting it seep down into the holes.

Step 10

Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert onto a cake stand or serving platter.

Step 11

Drizzle cake with remaining glaze.
