Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups (336g) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 cups (621g) sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups (390g) all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 1/4 cups (300ml) eggnog
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp (28g) salted butter
1/3 cup (69g) sugar
1/2 cup eggnog
2 tsp corn syrup or honey
1 1/4 - 2 cups (144g-230g) powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 10-14 cup bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
  • In a large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure things are well combined.
  • With the mixer on low, carefully add the flour, nutmeg and salt and mix until just combined.
  • Add the eggnog and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly into bundt pan and bake for 78-82 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but mostly clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then invert cake onto cooling rack to cool to room temperature.
  • Combine all ingredients except for the powdered sugar in a small sauce pan.
  • Heat on low until sugar is melted, then turn heat to medium to bring to a boil.
  • Boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and immediately pour into a heat-proof glass bowl.
  • Whisk in 1 1/4 cups or so of the powdered sugar. Allow to cool a bit and thicken, but still be pourable. If your icing is too thin, add additional powdered sugar until it's the right consistency to drizzle it. If you find the icing to be a little thick, just add a touch more water to thin it back out.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cake while the icing is still a little warm. It will be too firm to pour and get a nice drizzle if it cools completely.
