BEST EGGNOG CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with butter or cooking spray.
• Add 3/4 cup of butter and the white sugar to a large mixing bowl, and beat until smooth and creamy. (If using a stand mixer, beat on medium speed for about 4 minutes.)
• Add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract and 1 egg. Beat until completely combined. Add the remaining eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
• Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix on a low speed until just combined.
• Add 1/2 cup of the eggnog, and mix on a low speed until combined. Repeat with another 1/2 cup of eggnog.
• Transfer the mixture to your greased bundt pan, and bake for 35 minutes, or until a skewer poked into the cake comes out clean.
• Leave the cake in the bundt pan for about 10 minutes before turning it upside down onto a serving plate. Leave to cool completely.
• While the cake cools, make the eggnog icing. Add the powdered sugar and remaining butter, eggnog, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Beat together with an electric hand whisk until smooth.
• Once the cake is completely cool, spoon the icing on top of the cake. Use your spoon to push some of the icing downwards to create drips all around the cake.
