Ingredients

Servings
  • cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Glaze

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9-inch cake pan (with 2-inch high sides) with pan spray and line it with a round of parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ⅓ cup unsalted butter, ¾ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until combined. Mix in 1 cup buttermilk.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Add to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Add the cake batter to the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the cake.
  5. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes before poking all over with a skewer and pouring the glaze evenly over the top. You can place a pan or parchment paper under the cooling rack to catch the excess glaze as it spills over the sides of the cake.

Glaze

  1. Once the cake has been removed from the oven and is cooling, begin making the glaze. Add ¼ cup unsalted butter to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until fully melted.
  2. Reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons buttermilk. Stir until the sugar is completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar and 1 pinch salt.
