I found this recipe on...*gasp* Pinterest...ahaha! Seems to be a theme these days. I wonder what we did before this site? Oh, that's right. We actually looked things up in cook books.
Anyways, the thing that attracted me to this recipe, was not only the eggnog part, but the fact that they said that it was the best pound cake recipe.
It was good, but I'm not convinced it was the best that I've ever had. It's pretty quick to make, so if you need something now, then this is the best that you can do, without having to make things from scratch. I have another recipe that is from scratch, and will try that later, but because we wanted something sweet, I made this quick one.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
16oz pound cake mix (plain)
1 1/4 cup eggnog (I used organic eggnog, but I don't think it matters.)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (I used the dry, and used the same amount. FYI dried spices are usually more potent than fresh, so if you don't want it to be too "spiced" then use less)
Preheat oven to 350°.
Beat all ingredients together at low speed with an electric mixer until blended. Increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes.
Pour into a lightly greased 9- x 5-inch loaf pan. (I used a bundt pan, because my loaf pan was small!)
Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
Enjoy!
