Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Add Caramel and Pecans: Gently fold in 1/2 cup of caramel sauce and the chopped pecans, if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Pour into Bundt Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle with Caramel: Once cooled, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the Bundt cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a beautiful presentation.
