Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
3. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
4. Reduce speed to low and carefully pour in the boiling water. Mix until the batter is smooth.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake is baking, prepare the tar sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
7. Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a serving plate.
8. Poke several holes into the top of the cake using a skewer or toothpick. Slowly pour the warm tar sauce over the cake, allowing it to penetrate the holes and soak into the cake.
9. Let the cake cool completely before serving. The flavors will meld together and the cake will become even more moist and delicious.
