Equipment
- Oven
- Stand Mixer / Hand Mixer
- Bowl
- Baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ Cup All purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoon Baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder I prefer using freshly grated nutmeg
- ½ cup Unsalted butter Room temperature
- 2 large Eggs Room temperature
- 1 cup Sugar Granular
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Eggnog
Instructions
- Grease the baking pan with butter and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Sift 1 and ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 and ¼ teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg powder in a bowl and set it aside for later.
- In a mixing bowl add ½ cup of butter and 1 cup of granular sugar. Beat it together for about 6to 8 minutes on a medium speed or till it becomes light and fluffy. Once the butter and sugar mixture is white you can turn off the machine.
- To the bowl add 2 eggs and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix it all together till well incorporated.
- Now add 1 cup eggnog and 1 and ¼ cups of the sifted flour mix in 3 parts to the batter. So you will add ⅓rd part of milk and ⅓rd part of sifted flour and mix it till well combined. Keep repeating the process till everything is added to the batter and mixed properly.
- The batter should be smooth and easy to pour.
- Pour the batter into the greased pan and spread it evenly.
- Tap the pan on the workbench a few times to remove any bubbles in the batter.
- Bake the cake at 350F for 50-55 minutes. Check at 50 minutes if the cake is done by inserting a toothpick at the center of the cake. If it comes out clean then the cake is done. If there is some batter on the stick then the cake needs to be baked for 4 to 5 minutes or till the toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve it hot after you take it out of the pan, it tastes so good when it's fresh out of the oven. Or you could chill it and serve it later as a dessert. It is such a delicious cake. I am sure you will love it.
