Have been looking for a egg nog cake recipe. I was thinking I could just a egg nog mix in with my regular white cake recipe. But then I started looking for a recipe and some of them are chocolate. I was thing white base now not sure? I want to make cupcakes. thanks for your help.
I'd personally do a white base myself. Maybe with a little nutmeg or some other spice added in.
I'm from South America, so I can't think of chocolate eggnog. It's gotta be a white cake for us.
Here's one adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum that you might be able to adapt to your white cake recipe.

Also, our spanish eggnog is thicker and richer, called rompope. There's a tres leches cake, made with a rich eggnog syrup that you might be able to use to just moist your cupcakes with (inject them).
Recipe for the eggnog:

I do a WASC with eggnog instead of sour cream, a dram of loranne eggnog flavor, and half a tsp of nutmeg. Yum!!!
Oh wow. I was thinking of subbing eggnog for the water! 
Would that have been a mess?
Actually, maybe if I sub eggnog for BOTH the water and the sour cream... Does anyone have any thoughts if that would work?
Sheri, I don't know much about egg mpg but if it has a high sugar content you will need to cut back on the sugar you add to the wasc or it will sink. I think I'll try this as well for Xmas...sounds yummy...now for what flavor frosting? Just nutmeg? More eggnog? Possibilities possibilities
Good point about the sugar! But ya know, I've been sitting here thinking about it. What's in eggnog? (Kind of a rhetorical question) It's milk, cream (fat), eggs, sugar, spices... The same general extra stuff added to WASC. So ummmm, call me crazy, but I'd ALMOST consider just making a "WASC" with nothing but the cake mix, the extra flour, and enough eggnog to cover the rest of the normally added other ingredients! 
Welllllllll, maybe I'd add another egg. 
I'm thinking a rum SMBC might go nicely with an eggnog cake. Hot buttered rum, even. Wonder if you could use brown sugar instead of white?
Darn it, Big-G! Why did you have to go and start this thread? I LOVE eggnog!
Eggnog mousse filling: vanilla pudding mix, 1 c eggnog, 1 cup whipping cream, dash of cinnamon. YUM! I use a thinner version in a trifle-type dessert as well, with cherry pie filling, pound cake drizzled with spiced rum and whipped cream. Happy happy
I just remembered the also make an egg nog coffee creamer during the holidays... What about butter rum cake with egg nog frosting yummy...now I'm hungry
I was thinking of making eggnog cupcakes. I was just going to make the low fat recipe on the back of duncan hines white cake mix and sub the water for eggnog and then sprinkle the buttercream with fresh nutmeg topped with a fondant snowflake .
I make egg nog cupcakes every Christmas, but mine aren't based on an extended mix recipe (no extra flour, sour cream, etc) so I can't help you there. I just replace the water/milk called for in my basic white recipe with a cup of egg nog and 1/3 cup rum. They're always a HUGE hit and are great with spiced rum (Captain Morgan) buttercream and just a tiny sprinkle of nutmeg on top!!
I found this recipe which sounds good! http://createdbydiane.blogspot.com/2010/12/to-die-for-eggnog-cupcakes.html
