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. 😉

December 11, 2014 at 11:28 PMThank 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! 🙂

December 30, 2014 at 6:05 PMI’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.

December 19, 2015 at 2:49 PMWe tried this recipe but it totally tasted like there was too much baking powder in it.

November 19, 2017 at 3:03 PMI 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!

November 21, 2017 at 12:21 PMHi. I’ve been hanging onto your recipe for a couple years now and finally got around to making it. It’s actually baking right now. My house smells amazing and I cannot wait to have a piece.

November 21, 2017 at 1:40 PMHi Patty! I’m so happy to hear that…I hope you love it as much as we do!

December 16, 2017 at 3:57 PMThis looks and sounds delicious. I’m going to make it thia Christmas. We won’t be home thiughbfornchristmas weekend. Can this be made a couple of days in advance of holiday festivities and just glaze last minute?
Gabi
December 30, 2017 at 12:25 PMDid you end up doing the cake in advance? I’m having the same doubt.
Jo-Anna Rooney
January 1, 2018 at 1:34 PMI think this cake is best served fresh…but if you froze it I think it should be just fine!
Gabi
January 1, 2018 at 1:43 PMYea, 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!!

December 25, 2017 at 3:29 PMThe 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
Jo-Anna Rooney
December 29, 2017 at 11:31 AMI’m so happy to hear that! I need to make it again soon!
Beth Adams
December 30, 2017 at 10:36 AMHi Joana,
What size bundt pan did you use?have you ever made it in a loaf pan(s)? Size?
Happy New year?
Jo-Anna Rooney
January 1, 2018 at 1:33 PMHi 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.
Eve
September 7, 2018 at 12:20 AMWhat size the loaf pans
Mari
December 9, 2018 at 8:29 PMThis 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.

November 7, 2019 at 11:11 AMThis looks delicious, I want to make it for Christmas.
Question: Does it call for all purpose flour or cake flour?
Jo-Anna Rooney
November 8, 2019 at 9:35 AMHi Sarah! I use all purpose flour in my Bundt cakes. I hope you enjoy this recipe…it’s very festive!!
