**Ingredients:**

*For the Cake:*

- 1 cup soft butter

- 2 cups sugar

- 4 eggs, at room temperature

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk

*For the Butter Sauce:*

- 1 cup sugar

- 1/2 cup butter, cubed

- 1/4 cup water

- 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract

- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

**Directions:**

1. **Prepare the Cake:**

   - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

   - In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

   - In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and beat until well combined.

   - Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and spread it evenly.

2. **Bake the Cake:**

   - Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

   - Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

   - After 10 minutes, run a knife around the edges and tube of the pan to loosen the cake. Invert the cake onto a wire rack set over waxed paper to cool completely.

3. **Make the Butter Sauce:**

   - In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cubed butter, and water.

   - Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.

   - Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the almond and vanilla extracts.

4. **Finish the Cake:**

   - While the cake is still warm, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake.

   - Spoon 1/4 cup of the butter sauce over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in. Repeat this process twice more, until all the sauce has been absorbed into the cake.

   - Poke holes in the sides of the cake and spread the remaining butter sauce over the sides.

5. **Serve and Enjoy!**

   Slice and serve this delicious Kentucky Butter Cake with its luscious butter sauce. Whether enjoyed warm or at room temperature, it's sure to be a hit with family and friends. Bon appétit!
