Tastes Like Eggnog Cake

By Addie

My holiday eggnog cake uses a convenient boxed mix and comes out perfect every time. It always gets compliments, and most people think that I spend hours in the kitchen working on it! My husband's colleagues at work ask for it every Christmas. —Lisa Barrett, Durango, Colorado

REVIEWS:

Very simple to make, which was great! Made cupcakes out of the batter and followed the recipe exactly. Definitely gives you the eggnog flavor when you don't have eggnog to drink!

Perfect for the holidays. Tastes like you worked all day but it's so simple. It will impress your guests. I cut it into small pieces and arranged it on a pretty Christmas platter and took it to a party. It was a hit!
