I was looking for a festive cake to bake for my family dinner at Christmas and threw this one together at the last minute. It was a hit a our dinner and requested again for next year.
Ingredients
1 box spice cake mix
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
2 tbsp veg oil
1 1/3 c eggnog
1 c sour cream
a couple drops of LorAnn’s eggnog flavour (optional)
Butter cream icing
1 lb powdered sugar
1 c butter
3 – 4 tbls dark rum
Shaved chocolate (optional)
Instructions
Mix cake mix, flour, sugar and salt until blended. Add wet ingredients and mix for 2 mins. If batter seems too thick add a bit of water or milk. Bake in two 9″ rounds for 45 – 60 mins at 325.
Make butter cream icing using rum instead of milk or water. I added a few more drops of eggnog flavour too. Fill and frost layers and top with shaved white or semi sweet chocolate.
OMGosh this sounds super yummy.. Though I think I will opt for a vanilla butter cake and grind my own fresh nutmeg and other spices. Nuttin better then fresh ground. -wink-
