Not only is this swirled Eggnog Bundt Cake beautiful when sliced, it has a perfect texture and delicious holiday flavor. Drizzled with caramel eggnog sauce, it is irresistible!
I just can’t let the Christmas season pass without making at least one recipe that calls for eggnog. This year I’m having a hard time finding it. Every time we hit the grocery store, they are out of eggnog. My 14 year old is especially bummed, he loves eggnog. I sure hope we can find some soon!
Last year when I was actually able to find eggnog, I made this eggnog cake for the first time. It got a big thumbs up from my family. It is packed with spicy eggnog flavor, and is buttery and moist. So yummy!
You only add spices to half of the batter, so you end up with a pretty swirled cake when you cut it open. Such a beautiful presentation, it’s sure to wow your guests even before they take a bite!
I shared the recipe for the caramel eggnog sauce last week, and it is a perfect addition to this cake. You could of course add a scoop of vanilla ice cream as well. No matter how you serve it, it is sure to please the eggnog lovers in your life!

I don’t have rum extract but do have both dark and clear rum. I researched and found that 1 tbl rum eaquals 1/2 tsp extract. Can I use rum and if so how in order not to affect the result?
I would pour the 2 tablespoons of rum into the liquid measuring cup before you add the eggnog, then add eggnog till you get to the one cup mark. That way you won’t end up with too much liquid. Let me know how it turns out!
Wondering where the recipe for the sauce is? Thanks!
You can find the sauce here: https://www.creationsbykara.com/caramel-eggnog-sauce/
The recipe needs to be updated to state mix the cornstarch with the flour, salt & baking powder.
Thanks for pointing it out, I just fixed it! 🙂
