Holiday Bourbon And Eggnog Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the pan with flour, tapping out any excess, and set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the bourbon, eggnog, and sour cream. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the bourbon-eggnog mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Once the cake has cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar, drizzle with a bourbon glaze, or top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg for a festive touch.

8. Slice and serve this Holiday Bourbon and Eggnog Cake alongside a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of mulled wine for the perfect holiday treat that will have everyone reaching for seconds!
