Hope everyone’s enjoying the Holidays!  In case you still have some egg nog laying around, or, if not go buy another carton before its gone from the grocery store shelves and make this yummy Egg Nog Bundt Cake!

Egg Nog Bundt CakeWhile I hate the cold and would rather be hanging out on a beach somewhere (oh wait, I am! I’m in Cabo) winter’s not all bad.  The first snowstorm is fun.  The third, fourth, fifth…not so much. You get to eat and drink yummy seasonal things in winter during the holidays like peppermint bark (martini form counts as well) and egg nog.  I just love egg nog, I even made an Egg Nog Martini a couple weeks ago. It’s so thick and creamy and there’s so lots of delicious things to make with it besides just drinking it. Egg nog fudge.  Yum.  Egg nog french toast. Yes please.  Egg nog cake.  Here you go!

I was searching Pinterest for egg nog recipes for my monthly contribution to Made From Pinterest. and saw a pin from Cooking with Ruthie that looked good so I picked it.  This Egg Nog bundt cake turned out really moist and tasty.  The frosting in the original recipe is like a loose butter cream frosting made with egg nog.  I think next time I will try making a glaze with powdered sugar and egg nog and drizzle it over the cake while it’s still a little warm.  And to top it off and make it look pretty, try grating some fresh nutmeg over the cake!
