Easy Eggnog Bundt Cake Recipe

My husband loves this time of year. And I can tell you why in one word – eggnog. He absolutely loves eggnog, and gets quite excited when it hits store shelves. I don’t drink a lot of eggnog, but I absolutely adore it in a dessert. This eggnog cake is the perfect way to get the decadent flavor of eggnog without pouring it into a glass.

To keep it quick and easy, this eggnog bundt cake starts with a yellow cake mix. You won’t be following the directions on the box, we’re doctoring this cake up! To the cake mix you’ll be adding eggnog, French vanilla pudding mix, eggs, oil, nutmeg, water and vanilla extract. This is a fairly heavy eggnog cake, almost more of a pound cake consistency, which is why a Bundt pan is the way to go.

Easy Egg Nog Cake

We always love eggnog desserts in my home. Every year I make eggnog pie and cookies with eggnog frosting. My friend Rebecca from Foodie With Family makes an incredible eggnog ice cream and my friend Anna of Crunchy Creamy Sweet makes a fabulous Eggnog Cookie Bark.

Eggnog Cake

This easy and delicious eggnog cake makes a fantastic holiday dessert and Christmas cake. Packed full of flavor, this eggnog dessert comes together in no time!

Servings 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 15oz yellow cake mix
  • 1 3oz dry French vanilla (or vanilla) instant pudding mix
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Glaze:

  • 1/4 cup butter melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp rum flavor extract optional
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, dry French vanilla pudding mix, eggnog, eggs, canola oil, nutmeg, water and vanilla extract. Using a stand mixer or power mixer, mix until well combined, approximately two minutes. Use a rubber spatula to wipe down the sides of the bowl, making sure that your cake batter is thoroughly mixed.
  3. Spray a Bundt cake pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cake batter into the Bundt cake pan. Bake for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately ten minutes. Invert cake onto a wire cooling rack to cool.
  4. Allow cake to cool for at least another ten minutes. After ten minutes the cake can be transferred to a cake stand or plate. It’s a matter of preference as to whether you pour the glaze on your cake while it’s still warm, or wait for it to cool. I prefer to put the glaze on the cake while the cake is slightly warm.
  5. To make glaze, combine glaze ingredients in a bowl and mix well to combine. This can be done by hand or with a mixer. Drizzle glaze over cake. Slice, serve and enjoy!

    • Just made this Eggnog cake, instead of 1/4 of a cup of water, I used 1/4 cup of Bacardi rum… And instead of rum extract for the frosting, you guessed it? I use Bacardi rum. So good to take for a holiday party. We are eating it now…Yummy!

  5. My family and I love this cake!! I use brandy in place of the water and melted butter instead of canola oil (just personal preference) I also add brandy (1 tsp) instead of rum flavoring. Also, as usual with me I always double vanilla whenever I see it in recipes haha. So glad I found this recipe! AND so darn easy too!!!

  9. Wow!! Made this cake and it was gone quick. We doubled the recipe and made Mini Doughnuts for the kids to snatch and go during meal prep, dessert and breakfast. Huge Hit!!!!

  11. This was delicious!! I made 12 cupcakes for a nutcracker cupcake decorating project with my kids, and used a store bought vanilla frosting. I baked the rest of the batter in a 9″ round cake pan and then froze that for Christmas Eve. The eggnog flavor is so authentic that the plain vanilla frosting worked great for the cupcakes, but I will definitely make the eggnog glaze for the Christmas Eve cake! Thanks for a great recipe I will make regularly!
