Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups salted butter (softened)
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla, butter & nut extract
5 large eggs
1 cup French vanilla creamer
3 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the softened butter, sugar and salt. Using a hand mixer or the stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, salt and flavoring together. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Add the creamer and flour alternately while beating the mixture. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan and place the batter in the pan. Place the pan of batter into a cold oven and set the oven to 325 degrees. Bake the cake for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn out the cake onto a plate immediately after removing the cake from the oven. Allow the cake to cool completely.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, powdered sugar, flavoring and creamer. Mix until the glaze is smooth. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle or spoon the glaze overtop the cake.
Serve once the cake has completely cooled. Serve with vanilla ice cream, butterscotch topping and nuts, if desired.
