Cake Mix Eggnog Cake

Monday, October 1, 2018
Making this semi-homemade Eggnog cake is so easy using a doctored cake mix!

The cake is moist and delicious and totally a great way to use up any leftover homemade eggnog from the holidays.

Really just the title of Eggnog Cake shouts Holiday and is perfect for bringing to a party or to serving some last-minute unexpected guests during the busy Christmas season.

If you're a busy homemaker who works from home, busy with kids, has a job outside the home, or maybe just not fond of baking, this recipe is the perfect delicious holiday cake.

Even if you don't decorate it, this cake tastes marvelous just dusted with powdered sugar!

I love it topped with whipped cream and sliced bananas with caramel topping or a homemade buttercream rum frosting with eggnog in it!

This eggnog cake tastes great plain or frosted and just shouts Holiday!

Plain for Decorated



It doesn't matter how you serve this cake whether it's sprinkled with powdered sugar, all dressed to the nines for the holiday, or with a dollop of whipped cream, it's the perfect blend of flavors.


Fall flavors are so comforting and this cake brings them all together in one bundt pan.


The above is a swirly pan, we love the effects it gives.
