Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon spiced or plain rum
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and rum.
On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the eggnog to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.
If desired, sprinkle the top with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish. Serve and enjoy!
