What You'll Need
8 tablespoons butter, softened (4 ounces)
1 cup eggnog
1/4 cup rum, or use 1/4 cup more of the eggnog with 1 teaspoon rum flavoring
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 package (18.25 ounces) white cake mix
Rum glaze:
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons rum (or use milk and rum flavoring)
[post_ads]How to Make It
- Generously grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt cake pan. Heat the oven to 325 F.
- Beat the 8 tablespoons of butter until light; beat in eggs and eggnog and 1/4 cup of rum or rum flavoring. Add vanilla, nutmeg, and cake mix; beat slowly to combine, then beat on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Spoon into the prepared Bundt cake pan.
- Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a cake tester or a long wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of the cake.
- Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a serving plate or cake tray and cool completely.
- Combine the confectioners' sugar with the 2 tablespoons of rum and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Add milk or eggnog to thin, if necessary. Add more confectioners' sugar if too thin.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
