EQUIPMENT NEEDED:


Instructions

  2. In a bowl beat together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract until incorporated. Add the eggs and beat until creamy.
  3. Add half the flour and mix, pour the eggnog and combine, and finish with the flour. Beat for 3 minutes until the batter is shiny.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine all the streusel topping ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle over the coffee cake.
  6. Bake on the middle rack for 45 to 55 minutes, checking with a toothpick at 45 minutes and every 5 minutes after, until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

This coffee cake is delicious as is! The eggnog already has a light spicy flavor so you don’t need to add any additional cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix.

For a little extra bedazzle, try mixing a little eggnog with some confections sugar and drizzle on top just before serving.
