RECIPE: Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake
A dense, moist, rich vanilla cake soaked in a buttery caramel glaze and finished with a hint of salt.
INGREDIENTS
For the Cake:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (room temp)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs (room temp)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Butter Caramel Glaze:
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup butter
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp sea salt (optional but amazing)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prep the Pan:
Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients. Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet mixture. Stir in vanilla.
3. Bake:
Pour into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
4. Make the Glaze:
While the cake is baking, combine glaze ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Do not boil. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
5. Soak the Cake:
Once baked, poke holes in the cake (while still warm and in the pan). Pour the glaze slowly over the cake so it soaks in. Let sit for 30–60 minutes before inverting.
6. Finish:
Invert cake onto a plate and, if desired, sprinkle with a touch of flaky sea salt.
HISTORY
The Kentucky Butter Cake first appeared in the 1960s and quickly became a Southern staple. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity—moist, dense, sweet, with an almost toffee-like glaze that’s baked right in. We’ve taken that classic and elevated it with a salted caramel twist.
