Eggnog Bundt Cake with Eggnog Buttercream

DAY 1 PEPPERMINT CREAM BITES DAY 2 GINGERDOODLE COOKIES

DAY 3 MINT OREO BARK DAY 4 BISCOFF ROLO POPCORN

Holiday treats…gotta love this time of year. This delectable cake will be a sure hit at your next gathering! As you can see my frosting was melting off because I was not patient enough to wait for it to cool completely. I like the taste of eggnog but usually can’t drink a whole glass of it because it is so rich. So this cake was the perfect combo. I am lucky enough to have a couple of friends who love to taste test my recipes and they gave this one a thumbs up!

We never really had eggnog growing up, but my hubby really likes the stuff and they had it pretty often this time of year.

Now I just need a bundt pan…

Christmas Eve dinner dessert mystery solved! Thank you. I think a piece of artificial holly in the center or on the side will finish it off. Have a great holiday.
