Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl sides.
- In a small bowl, stir together eggnog, dark rum or bourbon, and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture and eggnog mixture to the butter mixture in alternating batches, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and tap gently on the counter to release any large air bubbles.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl or saucepan, whisk powdered sugar, eggnog, and rum until smooth to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg.
Notes
Store the finished cake covered at room temperature for up to five days; the flavors deepen and the cake stays moist.
