Ingredients
- 1 standard size box yellow cake mix (approx 15 oz)
- 1 3oz dry French vanilla (or vanilla) instant pudding mix (approx 3 oz size box, flavors and brands will vary slightly )
- 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
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
