Eggnog Bundt Cake with Eggnog Sugar Glaze

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This Eggnog Bundt Cake with Eggnog Sugar Glaze is a perfect holiday dessert!  Simple to make, and delicious.

The other day I was sitting on the couch watching The Walking Dead with my husband and thought….hmmm I should make an eggnog bundt cake.  True story.  Why this occurred to me at that moment, I have no idea.  I think that it’s likely due to the fact that my brain is pretty much never quiet.  That and I do everything I can not to pay attention to The Walking Dead because really, it’s a horrible show.  It really is.  Anyway.  At least one good thing came out of it that night…an idea.  This idea…a delicious and warm spicy eggnog cake.  With an eggnog sugar glaze.

So in the morning I set to baking and made this cake come to life.  I essentially made my coconut bundt cake, but adjusted it for the eggnog.  And once it was done I of course covered said cake in an eggnog sugar glaze then shared it with my 5 year old for lunch.  Because why not?  Some days just call for cake in the middle of the day.  😉

    Thank you for the lovely recipe! Unfortunately for me it came out more cinnamon than eggnog flavored, but that just gives me an excuse to bake it again and again until its just perfectly eggnogy! 🙂

    I’m in the process of making this right now. I’m not sure what I did wrong but my batter became so thick it was more of a cookie batter consistency. I added more eggnog to thin it out. I hope it turns out good still.

    I just made this! I only had almond milk eggnog (Califia brand) on hand, and I’m glad that didn’t stop me. The cake came out so light and fluffy! The glaze was transparent because of the almond milk, but still tasted wonderful. All in all this was a great recipe, just what I needed for a lazy Sunday bake! Thank you!

      Did you end up doing the cake in advance? I’m having the same doubt.

        I think this cake is best served fresh…but if you froze it I think it should be just fine!

          Yea, you’re right. It’s best served fresh. We had one a couple of hours after baked and one the day after, the last one was a bit dried. But still enjoyable. Next time will try freezing it.
          Thanks, happy new year!!

    The cake is glazed and looks so good I am having a hard time not cutting into it now. My glazed turned out a little darker. I couldn’t quite get the splatter to look right so I went with the dump and cover glazing method, but still looks and smell amazing. The cake came together so easily

      Hi Beth! I’m sorry to have missed your message! I use a 12-cup Bundt pan for my Bundt cakes…I haven’t made these recipes in loaf pans, but if I were to, I think they would make at least 2 loaves.

    This cake is delicious but my kids are right it taste more like cinnamon than eggnog. They called it the “Cinnabon” cake. Next time, I will definitely cut back on the cinnamon; maybe not use it in the glaze at all.
