Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • For the Cake:
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup Eierlikör German eggnog or any eggnog substitute
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze Optional:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp Eierlikör
  • 1 tbsp milk if needed, to adjust consistency

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla:
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Incorporate Eierlikör:
  • Gradually add the Eierlikör, alternating with the dry ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.
  • Bake the Cake:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the Cake:
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Glaze (Optional):
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and Eierlikör. Add a splash of milk if the glaze is too thick. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
  • Serve:
  • Slice and enjoy your Eierlikörkuchen with coffee or tea for a delicious dessert.
