Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box yellow cake mix
1/4 c sugar
1 c oil
8 oz sour cream
4 eggs
1 Tbsp extract (your favorite)
BUTTER SAUCE
1/2 c unsalted butter
3/4 c sugar
3 Tbsp water
2 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Take a box of your favorite yellow cake mix and pour into the mixer.
  • 2. Add 4 eggs, 1cup oil, 8 ounces of sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tbs. of extract. You can use almond, lemon, vanilla, or your favorite etc. When I use vanilla, I always use double strength real vanilla.
  • 3. Blend on low speed and then scrape the bowl really well.
  • 4. Beat 4 minutes on medium speed.
  • 5. Prepare a 8 inch bundt cake pan with pan spray or shortening and flour, and pour batter in.
  • 6. Bake cake at 325 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes, or a knife inserted comes out clean.
  • 7. While cake is baking, make the butter sauce. Add 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter (I use unsalted), 3tbs. of water, and 2 tsp. vanilla to a saucepan. Stir and heat mixture on medium heat until sugar is dissolved, but do not boil.
  • 8. When cake comes out of the oven, poke holes in it (I use a wooden spoon). Make lots of holes. Slowly pour butter sauce over cake and let it soak into the cake. You may garnish individual pieces with whipped cream.
