Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 cup softened butter
  • 3 cups granulated white sugar
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup eggnog

Sweet Eggnog Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3-5 tablespoons eggnog

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees and grease and flour a baking pan (either bundt pan, tube pan, or two loaf pans).

  • Cake
  • Add the softened butter to a large mixing bowl and cream.
  • Next, pour the granulated sugar into the bowl and mix for several minutes.
  • Add one egg at a time and mix.
  • Sift the cake flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and add to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour the vanilla extract and eggnog into the bowl and mix well.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and run a knife through to get out any air bubbles.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before flipping over onto a cake plate.
  • Sweet Eggnog Glaze
  • Add the powdered sugar to a small bowl.
  • Pour the eggnog into the bowl, starting with only three tablespoons, and mix with a whisk.
  • Add more eggnog, one tablespoon at a time, if you want the glaze thinner.

Notes
