I recently baked this eggnog cake for a Christmas dinner party and it was a hit so I’m excited to share the recipe with all of you. This is an eggnog cake for the reason; except for the crust. Lol.
This eggnog cake is made with rum and baked for 40-45 minutes. It’s a custard-style cake with a texture almost like a cheesecake.
I made this eggnog cake for a friendsgiving / vacation dinner. Here are a few other desserts that might work well for a dinner party:
You can use any type of seasoned rum for this eggnog cake – just avoid white rum. The most important tip is to allow enough time for this cake to cool / set completely before serving.
Similar to a cheesecake, you don’t necessarily want to serve it warm out of the oven, as it can stay a little sticky until it cools completely.
This egg liqueur cake is creamy, spicy and creates a little Christmas spirit. Enjoy! xo. Emma
