Eggnog Poke Cake is a delightful holiday dessert that combines the flavors of eggnog with a moist and delicious cake.
Here’s a simple recipe for you to enjoy:
Ingredients: For the Cake: 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water) 1 cup eggnog For the Eggnog Pudding: 2 cups eggnog 1 box (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix For the Topping: 2 cups whipped cream Ground nutmeg for sprinkling
Instructions: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the instructions on the box, but replace the water with eggnog. Mix well. Bake the cake in a 9×13-inch baking pan according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes after baking.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the eggnog pudding. In a bowl, whisk together the eggnog and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. Use the handle of a wooden spoon or another round object to poke holes all over the cake. Make sure the holes go all the way to the bottom. Pour the eggnog pudding mixture over the cake, making sure to fill the holes. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set. Once the cake has chilled, spread whipped cream over the top. Before serving, sprinkle ground nutmeg over the whipped cream for a festive touch.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Eggnog Poke Cake! Feel free to get creative with additional toppings, such as crushed gingerbread cookies or a drizzle of caramel. This festive dessert is perfect for holiday gatherings.
