Share on TwitterGreat success! The only other time I tried to make a Bundt cake, half of it stuck inside the pan! Not this time! Hoo-ray! Here's one of two desserts we made for our big family Christmas Eve, 2006 celebration.
Eggnog Cake Recipe:
INGREDIENTS:
1. 1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans
2. 1 package of yellow cake mix
3. 1 cup of eggnog
4. 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
5. 3 eggs
6. 2 tablespoons of orange juice
7. 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
8. (for the frosting) 2 cups of powdered sugar
9. (also for the frosting) 6 tablespoons of orange juice
DIRECTIONS:
* Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
* Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the pecans into each of 9 generously greased and floured mini-Bundt pans (see below for a note). Set prepared pan aside.
* Combine the cake mix, eggnog, oil, eggs, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of orange juice in a large bowl, and beat at medium speed for about 2 minutes. Pour the batter evenly into the mini-Bundts.
* Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Remove the cakes from the mini-Bundts and cool completely on the wire rack.
* Combine the two frosting ingredients together in a bowl. Stir well, and then drizzle evenly over the cake.
JEN NOTE: This recipe can also be made in one large Bundt pan (as is evidenced by the photo!) Use a 12-cup regular Bundt pan and proceed as above, except bake the cake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
ANOTHER JEN NOTE: Maybe this is just me being a little overly cautious (given my first and only other prior Bundt experience being as disastrous as it was!), but I let this cake cook for a long time. A l-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g time. Like, overnight. And it slid riiiight out of the pan with ease! (CORRECTION ADDED ON 12/27/2006...this should read that I let the cake "COOL" for a long time. Sorry about that!)
