How to Make Syrup Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup light corn syrup and mix until well combined.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
