Рецепт Festive Eggnog Pound Cake
Pin It
Are you a eggnog lover? I have come to realize when it comes to eggnog you either love it or hate it. My husband and I both love it! I usually have to purchase extra for baking, because my husband will drink all of it. Most times I have to fight for my share if I want any at all.
If you too are a eggnog lover than you're going to love this easy and festive Eggnog Pound Cake. I have a recipe for eggnog bread, but I've always loved the texture of a good old fashioned pound cake. I didn't have a recipe for eggnog pound cake, so I created one instead.
I have a wonderful recipe for vanilla pound cake and I have had great results in the past adapting it into a few different flavors. This time was no different and the pound cake turned out fabulous!
If you have a carton of eggnog in your refrigerator that needs to be used I highly recommend making this pound cake. If you pressed for time no worries, because did you know that you can freeze eggnog? Well you can and it's really easy. I freeze my eggnog in the same manner that I freeze buttermilk.
I love having eggnog stashed away in my freezer, so I can enjoy all my favorite eggnog flavored desserts, cookies, pies and breads all year long. I normally keep buttermilk or eggnog in the freezer no long than 6 months.
If you need a festive dessert or cake I hope you'll give this pound cake a try, because it is totally worth it!
Festive Eggnog Pound Cake
- {mommyskitchen.net}
- Ingredients:
- 1 - cup butter, softened
- 2 1/2 - cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 - teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 6 - large eggs, room temp
- 3 - cups cake flour, sifted (a must here)
- 1 - cup store-bought refrigerated eggnog
- 1 - teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 - teaspoon rum extract or rum
- Eggnog Glaze:
- 1 1/2- cup powdered sugar
eggnog (enough to make a glaze to drizzle over bread)
Directions:
Beat butter until creamy, gradually add sugar and nutmeg. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add flour and eggnog alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Add the vanilla and rum extract last.
Pour into a greased and floured Bundt pan or tube pan and bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in pan about 5 minutes then remove and cool completely on a cooling rack. Drizzle with eggnog glaze and let cake sit until glaze dries or lightly dust cake with powdered sugar.
Cook's Note: I strongly recommend using cake flour for this recipe. It really gives the cake a pound cake texture. I have not used a substitute for cake flour in this recipe, so I cannot guarantee the results if you substitute. Also if you don't want to glaze the pound cake you can always just dust the top lightly with powered sugar.
