Eggnog Poke Cake is a delightful dessert that incorporates the flavors of eggnog into a moist and delicious cake.
Here’s a recipe for you to try: Ingredients: For the Cake: 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water) 1 cup eggnog 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg For the Eggnog Sauce: 1 cup eggnog 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg For the Topping: 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping Ground nutmeg for garnish
Instructions: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, 1 cup eggnog, vegetable oil, eggs, and 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake the cake in the preheated oven according to the time specified on the cake mix box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the eggnog sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup eggnog, sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is heated through and well combined. Remove from heat and set aside. Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the cake. Slowly pour the eggnog sauce over the warm cake, making sure to fill up the holes and cover the entire surface of the cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled. Before serving, spread whipped cream or whipped topping over the top of the cake. Sprinkle ground nutmeg over the whipped cream for garnish. Slice and serve the Eggnog Poke Cake, and enjoy! This cake is perfect for holiday gatherings or any time you’re craving the flavors of eggnog in a delicious dessert.
