Bake Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
Cool Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
Heat Glaze Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Simmer: Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is slightly thickened.
Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Glaze the Cake:
Drizzle Glaze: While the cake is still warm, drizzle the glaze evenly over the cake. Allow the glaze to soak in and set before serving.
Serve:
