Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the eggnog and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Frosting Preparation
  1. While the cake cools, beat the butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and eggnog, along with the vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy.
  3. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the eggnog frosting over the top and sprinkle with ground nutmeg for garnish.

Notes

Use high-quality eggnog for a richer flavor. Adjust the frosting consistency by adding more powdered sugar or eggnog to suit your preference.
