Eggnog Sheet Cake

Ingredients:

3 Cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 Cup unsalted butter, softened
2 Cup sugar
4 large eggs
3 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 ¼ Cups eggnog

For the Eggnog cream cheese glaze :

1 – 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
¼ Cups unsalted butter, softened
¼ Cups eggnog, plus more if needed
2 Cups powdered sugar

1 tsp nutmeg, ground (optional)
White Chocolate Shavings

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×13 baking dish

Using a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until combined

Using a large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggnog until combined

Beat in the eggs one at a time until combined

Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until combined

Scoop the batter into the baking dish and place into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean

Using a large bowl and hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, butter, and eggnog (plus nutmeg if using) until combined and smooth

Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until combined

If the glaze starts to become thick, beat in about 3 tbsp – ¼ C of eggnog

You’ll want the frosting to almost be a glaze like texture

Pour the frosting over the warm cake and allow it to cool completely before sprinkling on the white chocolate shavings

Enjoy!
