Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Grease a Bundt pan with melted butter and flour it.

In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

In another bowl, cream 1 cup of room temperature butter until light and fluffy.

Add 2 cups of sugar to the butter and mix until well combined.

Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add 1 cup of whole milk, alternating with the flour mixture in three batches, starting and ending with flour.

Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.

Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Make the butter sauce by melting 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter and pouring it over the cake after baking.
