Spiced Eggnog Bundt Cake
By catgirl
* Substitute Pennsylvania Dutch eggnog with alcohol for regular eggnog and rum
- For the Cake
- 1 cup of butter, softened
- 3 cups of sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 3 cups of sifted cake flour
- 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of eggnog
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon of dark rum or brandy (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
- Glaze
- 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of heavy cream or whipping cream
- (I made a little extra glaze to drizzle on when serving)
- Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan. It is important to use the larger pan or you will have issues with the cake falling (trust me on this one. I speak from experience!) If you have a large angel food cake pan that would probably work too.
