Recipe: Eggnog Pound Cake

Flavor your holiday pound cake with a sweet, rich blend of eggnog. (Southern Bite)
This cake has all the great flavor of eggnog and a hint of nutmeg for that extra kick. The eggnog glaze that you drizzle over the top just makes it even more delicious. Be sure that you’re using at least a 12-cup or even a 15-cup Bundt pan with this recipe. Never fill your Bundt pan more than three-quarters of the way full.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups butter 3 sticks, softened
- 3 cups sugar
