The England international met Christian Eriksen's 22nd-minute free-kick to give Spurs a 1-0 lead at Wembley and surpass Alan Shearer's 22-year-old record before adding a second in the first-half.
It was more of the same from Spurs in the second half, with Dele Alli curling home a delightful third goal, and the midfielder then turned provider by playing in Son Heung-min, who grabbed the dominant hosts' fourth.
Sofiane Boufal grabbed Saints' first before Kane netted his hat-trick goal with a well-taken left-footed chip. Dusan Tadic grabbed a late second for the away side but it was a comfortable win for the hosts.
