Eggnog Tea Cakes Recipe

This eggnog tea cakes recipe is a festive treat and easy to make for the holidays. Make it for Christmas entertaining or for hostess gifts.

I love eggnog at Christmas time and I’m always saying I wish it was sold year round. I’m not one to make it from scratch either, so I teamed up with International Delight who has refrigerated Nog already to go.

As much as I love to drink an eggnog punch, I also love to cook with it. I’ve made this eggnog tea cakes recipe several times for social gatherings, and they’re such a delicious way to bring in the flavor of eggnog in a subtle way.

The recipe starts with a box mix {no shame in that game – it’s the busy holiday season after all} and goes together quickly. I like to bake them in my mini bundt cake pan because the shape is so cute, but you could also use a muffin pan. If you want to give these as gifts, just bake in mini loaf pans. They are great for hostess gifts, teachers gifts, or neighbors.

Eggnog Tea Cakes Recipe

• 1 box pound cake mix
• 3/4 cup eggnog
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons eggnog

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggnog, eggs, and nutmeg. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Pour batter into mini bundt cake pan, or muffin pan. Fill wells half way.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove cakes from pan while still warm, and let cool on a wire rack.

For glaze, combine powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. Drizzle glaze on top of tea cakes {after they have cooled}, and serve.

TIP: You can also bake these in mini loaf pans to give as gifts. You may need to increase baking time to 30 minutes.

I was able to get 9 mini tea cakes and 2 mini loaves with this recipe.
