Eggnog Cake Recipe

[pamelaD]

Hi everyone,

I would love to make an eggnog cake for a holiday party I am going to.

I found this recipe:

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 1/3 cups brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

3 eggs

1 cup eggnog

1 teaspoon vanilla

- mix and bake at 350 degress.

I'll bet I can just sub my gluten-free flour mix (rice flour, sweet rice flour, tapioca and potato flour) and add few teaspoon of Xanthum gum.

And instead of two round pan for a layer cake, maybe I will use a bundt pan?

What do you think?

Thanks,

Pam

It sounds like that should work very well.

Have fun at the party

Care to elaborate a bit on mixing directions and bake time?

You shouldn't have any issues as long as you add xanthan gum to the dry ingredients--maybe separate dry and wet and then easily incorperate the dry into the wet and don't over mix.

I had no idea about mixing / baking times till I tried it.

(I tend to 'wing it' when baking which is not always a good thing!)

It really turned out great and will be a yummy holiday desert.

Here is what I did:

mix all dry ingred. (used my generic gluten-free flour mix) including 2 teaspoons of X.gum

beat all wet ingred (including brown sugar) with hand mixer (melt butter)

Add dry ingred and beat on low for a min or so.

pour into a bundt pan ('pam' sprayed) and baked at 350 degrees for about 40 min.

I plan to make a frosting to drizzle over it by mixing a few tablespoons of rum with powdered sugar.

Oh Boy.

Happy Holidays!
