Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 4 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, dark rum, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.
If using pecans, sprinkle them evenly into the bottom of the prepared bundt pan.
Pour the batter over the pecans (if added), spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
