List of Ingredients
For the cake:
1/2 c. softened butter
1/3 c. sugar
2 eggs
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. baking powder
1 1/2 t. nutmeg
2 c. eggnog
1 c. chopped nuts
For the glaze:
1 1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. cinnamon
Eggnog as needed
Recipe
Grease a fluted tube pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and 1 1/2 t. nutmeg. Add the flour mixture and the eggnog to the butter mixture in alternating additions. Fold in the nuts. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 30 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
In a small bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, 1/4 t. nutmeg and cinnamon. Gradually add enough eggnog to make the mixture thin enough to drizzle. Stir well and drizzle glaze over cooled cake. Makes 12 servings.
