Eggnog Brandy Cake
This easy Eggnog Brandy Cake recipe is the perfect way to use up your leftover eggnog! Made with brandy extract, this is a great Christmas dessert.
As promised when I posted my Eggnog Nutella Ice Cream, 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.

Brandy and eggnog, together in a cake! What can be better?!
What a great idea! I don't like eggnog alone but I love it in desserts!
Looks great! I am not an egg nog person but in a cake, I too could be converted.
