Eggnog Brandy Cake

As promised, I am posting this recipe for Eggnog cake.

Eggnog has only been introduced into my life recently: two years ago to be precise, but I am now addicted. Starbucks eggnog lattes, eggnog ice cream, eggnog cookies… the list of the fixes for my addiction is endless.

But eggnog cake is where it gets good. I was going to just make a plain coffee cake, but I had some extra eggnog left over, and since I’ve been drinking it far too often, I decided to make a glaze for the cake. In other words, share the love of this eggnog so it will last longer.

I’ve got some eggnog haters in the house, so I didn’t tell them what was in the cake, but they LOVED it. The cake was gone by the end of the day, which is when I told them my secret ingredient.

I am converting them. Slowly but surely, everyone I know will start to be an eggnog fan.
