Eggnog Bundt Cake Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Cake Mix: I like to use a yellow cake mix, but you can also use vanilla or white cake.
  • Eggs: Beaten eggs help bind the batter and make the cake light and fluffy.
  • Butter: Melted butter helps keep the cake moist as it bakes. Use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe.
  • Eggnog: This is a key ingredient in this recipe, so be sure to use good-quality eggnog that you enjoy drinking. You can use homemade eggnog or store-bought eggnog.
  • Nutmeg: Nutmeg is a traditional holiday spice that adds wonderful flavor to this cake.
  • Rum or Vanilla Extract: Either of these extracts will add a delicious, boozy flavor to the cake. Vanilla bean paste may also be used.
  • Sugar: Use your favorite type of sugar for dusting the pan and topping the finished cake. The sugar creates a delicious sweet crust on top of the cake.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Eggnog? Eggnog is a holiday drink made from eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and spices. It can be served hot or cold and is commonly enjoyed during the winter months as a festive and indulgent treat.
    Depending on the recipe, eggnog may also contain spirits such as brandy, whisky, rum, or bourbon, which adds additional flavor and richness to the drink.
    Despite its rich and creamy texture, eggnog is actually quite nutritious, as it is high in protein, calcium, and other essential vitamins and minerals. Because of this, many people choose to incorporate eggnog into their holiday baking and cooking traditions as a way to add some festive flair to their favorite recipes.
  • Where Can I Purchase Eggnog? Eggnog should be available at your local grocery store during the holiday season including Costco, Walmart, and Target. You can also purchase it online from many retailers and specialty food suppliers.
    If you are unable to find eggnog, you can substitute almond milk or heavy cream in your recipe, although this may change the final flavor and texture of the cake.
  • What is a Bundt Cake? A bundt cake is a type of cake that has been baked in a special pan shaped like a ring or Bundt. This allows for the cake to bake evenly and also creates decorative ridges on the top, making it an ideal choice for serving to guests at parties or holidays.
    Bundt cakes are usually made from scratch with a combination of butter, flour, sugar, and eggs. However, some recipes may also use cake mixes or other premade ingredients to make the process quick and easy.
    Regardless of your method, bundt cakes are a delicious and versatile dessert for any occasion. You may also like one of my favorite bundt cake recipes, Ultimate Chocolate Bundt Cake, found here.
  • Why does this cake have nutmeg? The nutmeg adds a delicious, festive flavor to this cake and complements the creamy eggnog. You can also use rum or vanilla extract for even more holiday flavor.​
  • How to release cake from Bundt pan? To release the baked cake from the Bundt pan, place a cooling rack over the pan and invert it. The cake should slide out easily onto the cooling rack for serving.​
  • Is this an easy recipe to make? Yes, this is a very simple cake recipe that only takes a few common ingredients and just a few minutes to prepare. With the use of a boxed cake mix, it comes together quickly and easily for any holiday gathering.​
