Cake
- 3 cups flour minus 3 tablespoons, sifted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter, room temp
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
Glaze
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons Kailua
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a bundt pan. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate large bowl, use electric mixer to cream the sugar and butter for 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
Alternately add flour mixture with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour into bundt pan and bake for 1 hour. Turn out onto cake plate.
Make the glaze: in a sauce pan, melt the butter with the sugar and Kailua over medium heat until bubbly. Do not boil. Stir to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
Using a skewer, poke holes in the warm cake. Do not poke all the way to the bottom. Slowly pour the warm sauce over the warm cake.
