Eggnog Bundt Cake

Adapted from the Hasbro Children’s Hospital Cookbook, which raised funds for the pediatric center’s original opening.

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup almonds or walnuts, chopped
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • powdered sugar (opt.)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp butter or margarine
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 oz rum (3 tbsp)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Gently butter a bundt pan. Press nuts on bottom and sides of pan.

Step 2

Combine remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth: 4-5 minutes. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until cake is done.

Step 3

Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, or prepare rum sauce.

Step 4

For Rum Sauce, boil 1 cup sugar and ½ cup water for 5 minutes. Add butter, vanilla and rum. Cook mixture until syrupy. Yields about one cup. Prick the cake with a fork and pour the rum sauce on top or slice and serve individually.
