Ingredients

Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cup eggnog

Eggnog Glaze

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup extra fine granulated sugar*
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C.
  • Grease a 12 cup bundt pan (or 10 cup) with butter and flour or spray generously with baking spray.
  • In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
    1 cup unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing to combine after each.
    4 large eggs, room temperature
  • Add the vanilla extract and eggnog, mix to combine.
    1 tablespoon vanilla, 1 1/4 cup eggnog
  • Add the dry ingredients, mix until combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 65-75 minutes until a toothpick entered into the center comes out clean.
  • While cake is cooling slightly, make the glaze.

Glaze

  • Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
    1/3 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup extra fine granulated sugar*, 1/4 cup eggnog, 3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • Whisk continuously until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Do not bring to a boil.
  • While cake is still in the bundt pan, poke holes all over the warm cake and pour glaze evenly over the cake.
  • Allow cake to cool completely in pan and then invert cake onto a serving plate.

Notes

You can use regular granulated sugar for the glaze it will just take a little longer to dissolve.
I use a baking spray that uses oil and flour. I spray the pan well and never have a problem with the cake sticking to the pan.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then invert the cake onto a serving plate.
Storage - Store in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap at room temperature for 3 to 4 days. You can refrigerate it for up to 5 days.
Freezing - You can freeze this cake wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Just be aware that the glaze might change in texture, and it could become a little grainy. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
