Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers, breaking it into small, even pieces until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until the mixture is fully combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Spread the remaining batter over the brown sugar layer, carefully smoothing it out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more eggnog, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency.
Once the coffee cake has finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
Drizzle the eggnog glaze over the slightly warm cake. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Slice and enjoy your festive, spiced Eggnog Coffee Cake!
