Preheat oven to 325℉. Grease and flour three 4-inch bundt pans. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, ½ tsp vanilla extract, and almond flavoring together. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ½ c sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add ¼ c of butter. Pour the egg mix into the flour mix. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the side of the bowl and beat one more minute.
Divide the batter into the three mini 4” bundt cake pans and bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.
When the cakes have ten minutes left, start prepping your butter sauce. In a small saucepan combine all the ingredients for the butter sauce and cook over medium heat until fully melted and sugar is dissolved, stir constantly. Do not boil. Set aside.
Once the cakes are out of the oven, poke holes in the bottoms. Slowly pour the butter sauce over the cakes. Let them cool for 10-15 minutes. Place a small plate on the cake and flip the plate and cake over. Remove the pan. Enjoy right away or once they are cooled.
Variation: you can add ½ of the butter sauce to the bottom of the cakes and then drizzle the remaining sauce over the cakes once you have flipped them onto a serving plate.
