1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp milk
For the butter sauce:
½ cup unsalted butter

¼ cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, ensuring that the pan is well-prepared so the cake will easily release after baking.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
