EGGNOG POUND CAKE WITH RUM GLAZE
I based this recipe on a similar one from Horizon Dairy, making a few minor changes to fit what I had on hand. We love this cake! I love eggnog, and tend to buy too much during the holiday season, so this is a great use for leftovers. The flavor is rich, and the oil helps the cake stay soft and moist until every last slice is...

Steps:
- Gather the cake ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until light, either by hand or with the help of a mixer. Add in the eggs, eggnog, and rum (or 1/4 cup eggnog plus rum flavoring) and beat on low for 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla, nutmeg, and cake mix and beat slowly to combine. Set the mixer on high speed and beat well for 2 minutes, until the mixture is fluffy and filled with air.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a cake tester or a long wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake. If your oven is hotter in some spots, turn the cake 180 F after 20 minutes in the oven.

RUM POUND CAKE
This recipe is from Paula Deen's magazine called Holiday Baking. This cake looked so good I couldn't wait until the holidays to make it. It was amazing! If you want to try a really nice rum for this cake, if it's available in your area (also good in eggnog) try Captain Morgan's Private Stock. It is a rum with added spices, very nice. I made the glaze with this also. I halved that recipe and it was plenty. The serving size of this depends on how big a slice you cut :) Salt is not listed as an ingredient because I use salted butter but if you use unsalted butter or just want this cake saltier add 1/2 tsp salt.
