Tis the season for holiday baking!! I have been baking like a mad woman lately which means my house smells like holiday heaven nearly 24/7 and I and 100 percent okay with that. I realized that this year Thanksgiving fell on the earliest possible day of November which means Christmas season started earlier than usual. My tree went up earlier, the stockings went up earlier, the shopping started earlier (yayyyyyyyyy to get that done sooner than normal) and I feel like I got a whole extra week of Christmas this year. This eggnog poundcake is perfect for the holidays. It’s light, and not too dense, but still has that classic poundcake sink-your-teeth-into texture you want. The cake and frosting themselves each have a mild eggnog flavor so when you pair them together you don’t overwhelmed by the eggnog-i-ness of it all. Even if you aren’t normally a fan of straight up eggnog (which I am not by the way) you need to try eggnog in poundcake form. I usually shy away from a glass of eggnog but in baked goods it’s one of my favorite holiday flavors!
