Description

Infused with warm spices and rich eggnog, this cake is topped with a creamy eggnog-flavored frosting that enhances its seasonal appeal. The bundt shape makes it an elegant centerpiece for any dessert table.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tbsp eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cake texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavors: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to fully incorporate. Then stir in the eggnog, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg for flavor.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
  7. Bake Cake: Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
  8. Cool Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents sogginess and allows proper frosting application.
  9. Prepare Frosting: Beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed until combined to avoid powdered sugar puffing out.
  10. Add Frosting Flavors: Add eggnog, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg to the frosting mixture, continuing to mix until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more eggnog if needed for drizzle consistency.
  11. Frost the Cake: Drizzle the prepared eggnog frosting over the completely cooled bundt cake for a festive finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting or sliding.
  • You can sprinkle extra nutmeg or cinnamon on top of the frosting for added decoration and flavor.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • The frosting consistency can be adjusted depending on preference by varying the amount of eggnog.
  • Use freshly grated nutmeg if possible for more vibrant flavor.
