Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (3 sticks) plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus more for garnish
  • ¾ cup fat-free evaporated milk
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon bourbon, divided
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract, divided 
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons eggnog

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 15-cup Bundt pan with 2 tablespoons butter and dust with flour. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat 1 ½ cups butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until well combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing for about 30 seconds after each addition. Continue mixing on medium speed for 1 more minute.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
  4. In a large measuring cup, combine the evaporated milk, ¼ cup bourbon and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Stir until combined.
  5. With the mixer running on the lowest speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk mixture to the butter mixture in batches a little at a time, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and beating until just combined after each addition, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. 
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. 
  7. Remove cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool on the rack for an additional hour.
  8. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon bourbon, 1 tablespoon vanilla and 2 tablespoons eggnog until smooth.
  9. Add the remaining tablespoon of eggnog 1 teaspoon at a time if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Transfer the cooled cake to a serving platter and pour the eggnog mixture over the top. Garnish with nutmeg and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
