Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (342 grams) cake flour, sifted
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 1/4 cups (450 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 5 large eggs (250 grams), room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) dark rum
  • 1 tablespoon (30 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat eggnog, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract (for glaze)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) eggnog (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for pan)
  • 1 tablespoon flour (for pan)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup bundt pan using melted butter and flour or Baker’s Joy spray.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes).
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping the bowl after each addition.
  5. Mix in vanilla, rum, and lemon juice until combined.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and eggnog, starting and ending with dry. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Cake is done when a skewer comes out clean or internal temp reaches 200–202°F.
  9. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing or serving.
  10. To make the glaze: whisk powdered sugar, eggnog, and rum extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

  • Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar for a simple finish.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance for better flavor.
