This recipe was taken from a December 2003 Country Magazine. This is one of the best cakes I have ever eaten. I love eggnog and you can really taste it in this cake.

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup eggnog
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups eggnog
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add extracts; mix well. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with eggnog. Pour into two 9 inch round baking pans coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
  • For frosting, combine flour and salt in a saucepan. Gradually stir in eggnog until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggnog mixture and vanilla; beat on high until fluffy. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake. Store in the refrigerator. Serves 12.
