Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. Add butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs. Beat until smooth and creamy.

4. Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

5. While cake bakes, prepare butter sauce: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and water. Cook over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

6. When cake is done, poke holes all over the warm cake (still in the pan). Slowly pour the butter sauce over the cake so it soaks in. Let cool completely in pan before inverting onto a plate.

7. Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt before serving.
