Kentucky Butter Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter, and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Greek yogurt and applesauce. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

3. Bake the Cake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the glaze.

4. Make the Glaze:

• In a small saucepan, combine the butter, water, and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Glaze the Cake:

• While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top using a skewer or fork.
• Slowly pour the warm glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and spread evenly over the surface.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
