Salted Caramel Kentucky Butter Cake

I made this cake over the weekend for a dinner party and people lost their minds!! People couldn’t stop telling me how delicious the cake was and 3 people asked if I could make for thier next birthday. It was moist, with just the right amounts of buttery, sweet and savory taste. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Side note- I made some doughnut holes and the butter sauce and dipped the holes into the sauce and they hardened like a glazed doughnut hole.
