Ingredients Needed

Butter – I recommend using real butter for this recipe. Sugar – white granulated sugar Pure vanilla extract – if you have it, Mexican vanilla is my favorite. Flour – Make sure to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then level it off. Baking Powder Cinnamon and Nutmeg – Adds a nice warmness to the cake that helps elevate the eggnog flavor. Eggnog – Any brand of your favorite eggnog works. Powdered Sugar – This is for the glaze. If you find that it is clumping just sift the sugar before mixing with ingredients.

How to Make This Easy Eggnog Bundt Cake Recipe

Full steps on this holiday cake recipe is in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through of how it is made. First, preheat the oven. Then prepare the bundt cake pan with cooking spray or your preferred greasing method and set aside. In a large bowl use an electric mixer to blend the butter and sugar together. Mix in the eggs and vanilla and set it aside. Then, in a medium mixing bowl add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined. Once the batter is mixed, pour into the pan and bake as directed until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack that is placed over a cookie sheet. Once cooled, gently turn the cake over onto the wire rack and prepare the glaze.

Make a quick glaze using egg nog, powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Making sure the cake is no longer hot, drizzle about half of the glaze over the cake and let sit for a minute or so. Add the rest of the glaze evenly over the cake and enjoy!

Variation Ideas

Make sure you are using a nonstick cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking in the pan. You can also dust flour onto the sprayed pan which will help release the cake. Make this sweet eggnog glaze or swap with a cream cheese frosting or buttercream. You can also dust with powdered sugar instead of frosting it. Make sure to use a cake tester by sticking a toothpick in the center to ensure the cake bakes fully. If it comes out clean of wet batter then the cake is done. If the top of the cake is over-browning then cover it loosely with aluminum foil to create a tent. This will prevent the cake from getting too brown but still bake the cake.

Storing Tips

Refrigerate – Be sure to refrigerate the eggnog cake in an airtight container as the glaze may spoil if left out at room temperature. Freezing – Feel free to freeze your cake if you don’t plan to eat it right away. To freeze, wrap the cake in foil and then wrap it again in plastic wrap to keep air out. You can freeze it for 3 months if stored properly.

Is there alcohol in real eggnog?

Most brands of egg nog at the grocery store do not contain alcohol. If you want to be sure there is no alcohol, be sure to check the ingredients. If you would like to include alcohol, I recommend adding it to the glaze.
