Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 standard size box yellow cake mix (approx 15 oz)
1 3oz dry French vanilla (or vanilla) instant pudding mix (approx 3 oz size box, flavors and brands will vary slightly )
1 cup eggnog
4 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter (melted and cooled)
1/4 cup eggnog
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp rum flavor extract (optional)
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, dry French vanilla pudding mix, eggnog, eggs, canola oil, nutmeg, water and vanilla extract. Using a stand mixer or power mixer, mix until well combined, approximately two minutes. Use a rubber spatula to wipe down the sides of the bowl, making sure that your cake batter is thoroughly mixed.
  • Spray a Bundt cake pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cake batter into the Bundt cake pan. Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately ten minutes. Invert cake onto a wire cooling rack to cool.
  • Allow cake to cool for at least another ten minutes. After ten minutes the cake can be transferred to a cake stand or plate. It's a matter of preference as to whether you pour the glaze on your cake while it's still warm, or wait for it to cool. I prefer to put the glaze on the cake while the cake is slightly warm.
  • To make glaze, combine glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. This can be done by hand or with a mixer. Drizzle glaze over cake. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Time 3h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ cup butter, room temperature
1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup prepared eggnog (or see notes for recipe)
2 tablespoons bourbon whiskey
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups prepared eggnog (or see notes for recipe)
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon rum-flavored extract
⅛ teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
½ cup finely chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  • Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs, one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon lemon peel, mixing well.
  • Combine 2 cups flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Pour flour mixture into the batter alternately with 1 cup eggnog, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in bourbon. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when touched lightly with a fingertip or a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes (test both cake layers). Cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make frosting, combine 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups eggnog, whisking until smooth.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. When mixture boils, cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
  • Beat 1 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy. Mix in cooled eggnog mixture, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, rum extract, and 1/8 teaspoon grated lemon peel. Beat on high speed until mixture is fully incorporated and frosting is fluffy.
  • Spread cake with plain frosting between cake layers, over the top and on the sides. Coat the sides with toasted pecans, pressing the nuts onto sides in small handfuls. Refrigerate until serving time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggnog. Fresh eggnog will give your cake a richer flavor and a creamier texture. If you don't have fresh eggnog, you can make your own by following a simple recipe online.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating the batter will make your cake tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Serve the cake immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Triple eggnog cake is best served cold, so it's a perfect dessert for a holiday party or a special occasion.

Conclusion:

Triple eggnog cake is a delicious and festive dessert that's perfect for the holiday season. With its moist and fluffy texture, rich eggnog flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to serve at your next holiday party or gathering, give triple eggnog cake a try!
