### 👩🍳 How to Make It:
1. **Bake the Cake**
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, beat in eggs and vanilla, then alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
2. **Make the Sauce**
In a saucepan, gently simmer buttermilk, sugar, butter, and baking soda until thickened slightly. Stir in vanilla.
3. **Assemble**
While the cake is still warm, **poke holes** across the top with a skewer or fork and **pour the warm sauce** over it slowly, letting it soak in.
4. **Serve**
Enjoy warm with whipped cream, fresh berries, or just on its own — no frosting needed!
