Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg room temperature
  • ¼ c buttermilk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • tsp almond extract
  • ¾ c flour
  • ½ c sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • tsp baking soda
  • ¼ c butter softened

Butter Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • ¼ c white sugar
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

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.
