Eggnog Poke Cake

"Created by AI, this recipe combines technology and taste for a modern twist on home cooking."

Eggnog Poke Cake is a delightfully moist cake that’s filled with the rich and creamy flavors of eggnog. It’s not heavy or overly sweet either. I think it’s a perfect holiday dessert, and if you’re not an eggnog fan, feel free to substitute with vanilla pudding. It will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a festive dessert that’s not overly indulgent, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a light and spongy cake and pair it with a luscious eggnog filling & topping, you get the perfect cake. The addition of a sprinkle of nutmeg just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for holiday baking, and this dreamy cake reminds me of festive celebrations. Not a fan of eggnog? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without it.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • 9×13 inch baking pan
  • Wooden spoon or skewer
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • Cake:
    • 1 box yellow cake mix
    • 1 cup eggnog
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Filling:
    • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
    • 2 cups eggnog
  • Topping:
    • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
    • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Ground nutmeg for garnish

Directions

  1. Prep Time: 15 minutes
  2. Cook Time: 30 minutes
  3. Total Time: 3 hours (includes cooling and chilling time)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Make the Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggnog, vegetable oil, eggs, and ground nutmeg. Beat with a whisk or electric mixer until well combined and smooth.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  4. Poke the Cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the cake, about an inch apart.
