Eggnog Coffee Cake

The most wonderful thing about making a holiday breakfast is when you are able to make it ahead. No one wants to cook on a fun (sometimes stressful) holiday morning, right? This eggnog coffee cake is one of those fantastic make-ahead recipes. You can prepare the batter in the pan the night before, and then all you have to do is pop it into the oven to bake in the morning.

Instead of a crumb topping for this cake (something that it called for in the original recipe), we are opting for sprinkling the crumb topping smack dab in the middle of the cake instead. Half of the batter is spooned into the pan, then the crumb layer, and then the rest of the batter. At this point, you will cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.

Glaze for the eggnog coffee cake:

After baking your eggnog coffee cake, you will let it cool on a wire rack. Then you can prepare the glaze to drizzle on top. The glaze is a mix of powdered sugar, eggnog and nutmeg.  It’s just enough of a sugary drizzle to add some additional pizzazz and flavor to the cake. There are no fresh cranberries in the recipe, but they look pretty to add as a garnish.

Slices reveal a tender cake. You can spot the extra crumb layer right in the middle.  And that glaze just adds a tiny bit of icing to enjoy with the cake. This is such a delicious coffee cake to enjoy on Thanksgiving or Christmas morning with your family and other relatives or friends. It’s a favorite– enjoy!
