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...

CAKE
1/2 c dried currents
2 Tbsp dark rum
3 c all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
1/2 c canola oil
2 c raw (unrefined) sugar
3 large eggs
1 c eggnog mixed with 1 teaspoon vanilla
GLAZE
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp rum
3/4 c white granulated sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch Bundt pan. In a small bowl, soak currents in rum for at least 15 minutes.
  • 2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl, stir, and set aside.
  • 3. In a mixing bowl, beat butter with oil on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat for 5 minutes on medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, beating 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape sides of bowl.
  • 4. Then, with mixer on low speed, alternately beat in eggnog and flour mixture. When well mixed, fold in the currents and rum. Spread mixture in prepared Bundt pan.
  • 5. Bake 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • 6. While cake is cooling, combine the glaze ingredients. Turn the cake out onto serving platter. Use a pastry brush to spread glaze on warm cake. Allow to cool completely before serving.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cake didn't rise very much. It's still tasty, but it's not as fluffy as I would have liked.

The rum glaze is too strong for my taste. I think I'll try a different glaze next time.
