One of our friends over at Dine And Dish has this to say about the recipe:
“The eggnog flavor is just perfect… it is strong enough to know that it’s supposed to taste like eggnog, but it’s not over powering at all. Even those people who don’t go crazy for eggnog this time of year will love this cake. My husband is one of those people who doesn’t love eggnog, and he’s eaten the most of this cake out of everyone in our family!”
I have a lot of friends who don’t appreciate eggnog and yet they love every morsel of this. The key word is overpowering. The taste of the eggnog doesn’t overpower the whole cake so it tastes just right for everyone to enjoy!
