Servings: 16 Servings
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 13.25 ounces yellow cake mix
- 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix 1 package
- 1 cup eggnog
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons eggnog
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of nutmeg optional
Instructions
Preheat and Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan, and set aside.
Mix the Batter:
- To a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, eggnog, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, and nutmeg.13.25 ounces yellow cake mix, 3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 cup eggnog, ½ cup sour cream, 3 large eggs, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Use a hand mixer on medium speed to mix until well-combined and smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, vanilla extract, and nutmeg (if using). If the glaze is too thick, add a splash or two of milk until you reach your desired consistency.1 cup powdered sugar, 2 to 3 tablespoons eggnog, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch of nutmeg
Glaze the Cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the eggnog glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides.
- Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 16 servings, depending on how the cake is sliced and any substitutions you use. Adjusting the glaze thickness or using a different pan size may slightly change the number of servings.
- If you'd like to make the glaze thinner, we recommend using milk rather than eggnog. Using eggnog has a tendency to make the glaze very sweet.
- The egg and oil amounts are specific to the cake mix you’re using. Omit any water that may be listed on the box of cake mix. Be sure to check your cake mix instructions for the exact amounts. The eggnog, pudding mix, sour cream, and nutmeg should be added in the amounts listed above.
