• 3 bake until golden brown, approximately 60 minutes; meanwhile prepare the butter glaze.
• 4 combine sugar, hot water and butter in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat just until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves; stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes; remove pan from heat and stir in all the extracts.
• 5 remove bundt pan from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes; carefully invert onto a cake plate right side up.
• 6 poke holes in the cake with a straw or use a cake syringe filled with the glaze slowly pouring or injecting the glaze directly in to the cake (depending on which method you use you may have glaze run-off, just soak up with a paper towel and discard) you want the cake to soak up as much as possible of the glaze; allow the cake to cool to room temperature before serving.
