Happy Holidays Egg Nog Cake By Kelli Wilkins

Happy Holidays Egg Nog Cake

This easy (and delicious) egg nog cake is made from a boxed cake mix.

Ingredients:

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix (with pudding in the mix)

¹⁄₄ cup vegetable oil, (adjust according to package directions, if necessary)

2 eggs, (adjust according to package directions)

1 ¹⁄₂ cups eggnog, (substitute for water and adjust according to package directions)

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (add more to taste if you want a stronger flavor)

Directions:

Pre-heat oven and oil/grease your cake pan, so the cake doesn’t stick. (A Bundt pan works best for this recipe – or you could make cupcakes!)

Prepare cake mix according to the directions on the box – substituting the egg nog for the water. Add ground nutmeg to the mix and blend well.

Bake cake according to the package directions. Let cake cool before adding frosting or other toppings.

Topping Suggestions:

You can top the cake with vanilla frosting, thawed whipped topping, or make an egg nog glaze. (I used frosting for my cake.)

Egg Nog Glaze Ingredients:

2 cups powdered sugar   

2 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons eggnog

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ to 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, if desired

In a medium bowl, combine ingredients, adding enough egg nog for desired consistency. Drizzle over the cake and let set. If the glaze is too runny, add more powdered sugar.

Enjoy!!

As 2019 draws to a close, I’d like to share news about my new non-fiction guide to romance, 

Romance Every Weekend: 104 Fun Ways to Express Your Love.

Whether you’re just starting out dating, in a committed relationship, newlyweds, or you’ve been married for twenty years, Romance Every Weekend will show you how you can strengthen the bond between you and your loved one and deepen your relationship.

Romance shouldn’t be reserved for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or an anniversary. Why should people wait for a special occasion to show someone they love that they care? Love can (and should) be expressed every chance you get.

Romance Every Weekend features 104 fun and easy ways you can express your love to that special someone in your life. Perfect for men or women, it focuses on tender, everyday gestures that let your partner know how much you love him or her.

Some suggestions include:

* Today, tell your sweetheart: “I knew I loved you when…” Sharing your feelings and expressing

your love verbally has a deeper meaning than giving a gift or sending a card.

* Break out of your comfort zone. It’s time to try something new with your mate. Sign up for a class being offered today, in person, in your local area. It can be anything: cooking, Pilates, yoga, swimming, dancing, painting… Take the first class you find and run with it. (Whatever happens, remember, you’re in it together.)

* Watch the sun set together. No talking. But you can certainly hold hands. 

If you're looking for ways to keep your romance fresh, this is the book for you!
