EGGNOG POUND CAKE WITH RUM GLAZE



Eggnog Pound Cake with Rum Glaze image

I based this recipe on a similar one from Horizon Dairy, making a few minor changes to fit what I had on hand. We love this cake! I love eggnog, and tend to buy too much during the holiday season, so this is a great use for leftovers. The flavor is rich, and the oil helps the cake stay soft and moist until every last slice is...

Tips:

  • To achieve a velvety-smooth batter, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly until light and fluffy; this incorporates air, resulting in a lighter, airier cake.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the eggnog mixture. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl frequently while mixing to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven to prevent uneven baking and a sunken center.
  • Check the doneness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing or frosting to prevent the glaze or frosting from melting.
