This Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake is a rich, moist, and indulgent dessert. It’s a delightful twist on the classic Kentucky Butter Cake, with a tender crumb and a warm caramel flavor. The cake is baked in a Bundt pan and then soaked in a buttery caramel drizzle, making it incredibly moist. An optional homemade salted caramel topping adds a final touch of decadent sweetness.
