By [e-mail]

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1 (18.25 oz.) package yellow cake mix
• 1 cup egg nog
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup rum*
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

Grease a 12 cup Bundt Pan with 2 tablespoons of butter (do not use cooking spray). Press almonds on the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

In a large mixing bowl, mix all remaining ingredients. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Carefully spoon batter into prepared pan.

Bakefor 55-64 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes in pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.

*NOTE: I used a combination of light and dark rum. If you don't want to use alcohol in this cake, substitute the 1/2 cup rum with equal parts egg nog and add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon rum extract to the batter.
