You won't find a moister pound cake, or a more decadent icing. And for an added bonus, this one tastes like the holidays. If you don't like eggnog, don't fret. I sent my brother a loaf and he said it was the best he had ever had (and we didn't tell him it had eggnog in it). So give it a try; it's delicious and so simple to make.
Ingredients:
1 box of pound cake mix
1 1/4 cup eggnog
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (or 1/8 teaspoon dried, but fresh is always better)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. With an electric mixer, beat all ingredients together for 2 minutes on medium speed.
3. Pour batter into the greased loaf pan.
4. Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then invert pound cake onto a wire cooling rack and flip back over to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy with the following Eggnog Icing recipe!
