Eggnog Bundt Cake with Browned Butter Glaze on a cake stand

I have one more wonderful Christmas recipe to share with. This Eggnog Bundt Cake with Browned Butter Glaze is seriously wonderful. If you are a fan of eggnog, you are going to love this dessert. Even if eggnog is not your favorite beverage, I still think you will enjoy this cake. I am actually not a huge eggnog fan, except for this homemade one served over vanilla bean ice cream that we have every Christmas Eve, but I love this eggnog cake. It is so flavorful and has a perfect tender and moist interior, topped with an amazing glaze. There is something about browned butter that just elevates the whole recipe to a new level!

I love a good bundt cake. First of all they are the easiest cake to make and put together. They look fabulous and taste fantastic without all the fuss of layers and frosting. My kind of cake! This is the perfect dessert for a Holiday gathering. I served it this week for church party and not a slice was left!

Description

This Eggnog Bundt Cake with Browned Butter Glaze is the perfect holiday dessert. Super easy to make and tastes incredible!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 standard size box white or yellow cake mix
  • 1 3oz dry Vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Browned Butter Glaze
  • 1/4 cup butter browned and cooled
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp rum flavor extract optional
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Prepare bundt pan by with spraying generously with non-stick cooking spray (I like the bakers one) or grease and flour it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggnog, eggs, canola oil, nutmeg, water and vanilla extract. Using a stand mixer or power mixer, mix until well combined, approximately two minutes. Use a rubber spatula to wipe down the sides of the bowl, making sure that your cake batter is thoroughly mixed.
  3.  Pour cake batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan.
  4. Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately ten minutes. Invert cake onto a wire cooling rack to cool.
  5. Allow cake to cool for at least another ten minutes. After ten minutes the cake can be transferred to a cake stand or plate.
  6. To make glaze, first brown the butter in a small saucepan on the stove over medium high heat.  It is melt, bubble and brown.  Stir and remove from heat as soon as it gets nutty brown and smells amazing!  Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. This can be done by hand or with a mixer.
  7. You can pour the glaze on your cake while it’s still warm, or wait for it to cool. I usually put the glaze on the cake while it is slightly warm.
  8. Drizzle glaze over cake. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
