Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon spiced or plain rum
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and rum.

Step 5

On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the eggnog to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of eggnog until smooth. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the top with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish. Serve and enjoy!
