1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup salted butter, softened and cut into cubes

1 tablespoon dark rum, such as Goslings Bermuda Black Rum

Instructions

For the Eggnog Bundt Cake

Preheat oven to 325 F. Generously butter a 10-inch bundt cake pan and dust with flour. Place bundt pan on a baking sheet. Set aside.

Using a stand mixer (or a hand mixer + large bowl), whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl: butter, eggnog, eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract. Beat on low until ingredients begin to mesh, then increase speed to medium. Beat for another 3-4 minutes so that the batter is thick and smooth.

Pour batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (no crumbs).

Transfer the bundt cake (still in the bundt cake pan) to a wire cooling rack to cool. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan, for about 1 hour.

For the Eggnog Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, eggnog, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Check for consistency – if the glaze is too thin, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time until the desired thickness is reached. If the glaze is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of eggnog until the glaze is workable.

Using a spoon, drizzle glaze on top of bundt cake. Allow glaze 20 minutes to set before serving.
