Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix (about 15.25 oz)

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 cups eggnog
  • ½ cup butter, cut into thin slivers

Optional Toppings

  • Grated nutmeg, for serving
  • Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Pour first layer of eggnog: Pour 1 cup of the eggnog into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  3. Add dry cake mix: Sprinkle the entire box of white cake mix evenly over the eggnog layer in the dish, ensuring full coverage without stirring.
  4. Add remaining eggnog: Pour the remaining 2 cups of eggnog over the cake mix, covering it evenly.
  5. Top with butter: Scatter the ½ cup of thinly sliced butter slivers evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with freshly grated nutmeg and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat eggnog for a richer flavor and moist crumb.
  • Do not stir the layers; the batter will form naturally during baking.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick near the center; it may have moist crumbs due to eggnog but should not be wet batter.
  • For a boozy twist, add a tablespoon of spiced rum or bourbon to the eggnog before baking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
