Ingredients:  
CAKE
1 c butter, cubed at room temperature
2 c granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 T vanilla
3 c all purpose flour
1 T. vanilla
1 tsp. kosher salt

2 T water
2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325º
Grease a 10 " bundt pan with butter or shortening very liberally. Dust pan with flour and set aside.
Place all the cake ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low for 30 seconds and then increase the speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 65-75 minutes until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
When the cake is done make the glaze. Combine all ingredients into a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
Poke holes all over the warm cake using a knife and pour the glaze evenly on the cake while still in the pan.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate.
Making it a day ahead, allows it to be more moist and flavorful when it rests overnight.

I used Pam and it worked well.
Start checking the cake at 55 minutes I found it did not take the full 75 minutes to be done.
