Eggnog Layer Cake

What a gorgeous layer cake! Eggnog is one of my seasonal favorites. This cake on the other hand is outstanding and BRILLIANT! Eggnog is a holiday staple and I love the idea of it in cake!

I made this cake and it was truly fantastic!! Everyone loved it and it really tastes like a creamy drink of egg nog! The only changes I made were that I substituted spiced rum for the water in the cake batter and I added an extra 1/4 cup eggnog in frosting. Spectacular! Will be a new tradition for sure!!

The cake is covered with a wonderful eggnog frosting spiced with nutmeg and a little bit of rum extract. If you’d like a little guidance on creating that smooth finish, check out my tutorial. Be sure to store the cake in the fridge before serving. I like to take mine out of the fridge at least 20 minutes before serving to let it come back to room temperature a little bit. I find all cake to be moister and tastier that way.

This Eggnog Layer Cake will definitely be a hit with all your eggnog-loving family and friends! We loved it – pretty much irresistible!
