So, I guess we need to get this out of the way early on.

Eggnog: Yes or No?

I am, obviously, firmly in the eggnog YES camp. Give me all the eggnog things. Eggnog, eggnog cookies, eggnog coffee creamer, eggnog pudding pies and anything else I can get my eggnog lovin’ hands on.

So, this tender cake made with eggnog in the batter and the frosting is for all my fellow eggnog aficionados!

While this cake may be dressed up in its holiday finery – look at all those sprinkles! – it starts with a boxed cake mix.

Easy, right? When I was making the cake, I replaced the water called for on the package instructions with eggnog and added some freshly grated nutmeg to the batter. The vanilla eggnog cake bakes up soft and tender and full of eggnog flavor. Then, I made my favorite frosting (that also doubles as pudding mousse!) with more eggnog and more fresh nutmeg.

Finally, I added a generous dash of tiny white snow flakes sprinkles, white nonpareils and more fresh nutmeg to the top of the cake. I am a firm believer that all cakes should have sprinkles. 🙂

I guess you can say that this cake has eggnog from top to bottom.
