Eggnog pound cake

Pound cakes are known for their buttery, rich flavor and I think it’s the perfect cake to infuse with some Christmas spice and rum. Eggnog is as synonymous with the festive season as Christmas trees so it’s just apt to turn a simple cake into something Mrs Claus will approve of.

How to make pound cake

  1. Pound cake is made with the creaming method. Beat the butter and sugar together until it is well-combined, light and creamy. It’s important for the butter to be at room temperature otherwise it won’t incorporate well with the sugar.
  2. Add the eggs, one a time. Beat the eggs in and scrape down the sides of the bowl in between each addition.
  3. Sifting the dry ingredients together will make sure the spices are evenly distributed but will also add some airiness to the cake.
  4. Mix the dry ingredient and the milk into the batter, alternating between the two. Meaning, Mix a few tablespoons of the dry ingredients in, then a few tablespoons of the milk, and so forth until everything has been incorporated. The batter will be smooth and creamy.
  5. Transfer to a lined loaf pan and bake until golden brown. A skewer inserted will come out clean when the cake is baked.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before pouring over the glaze.

Making ahead and freezing

  1. Make ahead: This cake can be made the day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Leftovers can be kept covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  2. Freezing: The baked and cooled cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap well with plastic wrap and foil and freeze. Slices can also be frozen individually for easier thawing.
