2 cups (454g) buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups (361g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
Topping
6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter
1 cup (213g) light brown sugar
1/4 cup (57g) milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 to 1 cup (74g to 113g) diced pecans

Beat the butter and brown sugar together till smooth.
Add the eggs, beating till smooth.

Farmhouse Buttermilk Cake
Add the baking soda, salt, and flour to the wet ingredients, beating till thoroughly combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the cake for 35 minutes. Towards the end of the baking time, prepare the topping.
Stir the butter and the sugar together. Add the milk, pecans, and salt. The glaze will be thick but pourable.
Top the baked cake with the topping, and return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
Remove the cake from the oven. The topping will look very runny. You can eat the cake hot, with the glaze still gooey; or let the cake sit at room temperature for a few hours, by which time the glaze will have set.
