Eggnog Cake Recipe - Apricot and Eggnog Filling with Rum Soaked cake


	Eggnog Cake Recipe "Rum soaked cake layers, with apricot preserves and eggnog filling" This eggnog cake recipe has an eggnog filling with apricot preserves and rum soaked yellow cake. It's a fairly easy italian cake if you use a cake mix. The only potential tricky part is getting 3 nice even layers sliced after the cake cools. I served this eggnogg cake on Christmas Day. But I made it twenty four hours ahead of time. And that is what makes it primo. Sitting. Originally my father-in-law requested my Italian Rum Cake. I make that so often, I wanted to twist up this holiday a bit. So, I thumbed through my Italian grandma's Navy Service League cookbook looking for something that would keep everyone happy. And I found this eggnog cake recipe. I felt justified since this is similar to a rum cake (since the three layers are sprinkled with rum). Thankfully the recipe was GREAT. And whew, the peace was kept this holiday season. This was superb! A big key to the superb flavor? Make sure this cake has a good 24 hours of rest to let the flavors permeate! Eggnog Cake Recipe YIELD:One 9 inch cake Ingredients * 2 Tbsp of cornstarch * 1/4 cup of sugar * 2 cups eggnog ( not LOWFAT - real eggnog!) * 1 pkg lemon or butter cake mix * 6 Tbsp of rum * 3/4 cups of apricot jam or preserves * 2 cups all-purpose flour * 1/2 cup of whipping cream * 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted Procedure * In sauce pan mix cornstarch and sugar and eggnog * Cook overhigh heat until mixture boils and thickens. * Cover and cool. * Prepare cake batter as package directs. Pour into springform pan. * Bake as directed. Cool on rack. * To assemble - split cake into 3 thin layers. * Place bottom layer on flat cake plate. * Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of rum. * Spread with half of apricot jam/preserves. * Cover with half chilled eggnog filling * Repeat process with second layer * Top with last layer an sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons of rum. * Frost top with whipped cream. (I usually wait until serving to add the whipped cream.) * Sprinkle with almonds. * Refrigerate till serving. Can I skip the rum? You can - but do you really want to? If I skip it - what can I use? Hmmm - I would go for: espresso orange juice white wine The trick to slicing please! Let the cake cool. Like totally cool. If you got the crusty edges from greasing the pan that's a start: use a serrated knife work around the edges of the cake to mark where the cut will be gradually work around again slicing in a little deeper using the same edges marks as a guide. NOTE: some have used dental floss. I never have. It's worth a try if you have another cake mix on hand. What other recipes are used from the same cookbook as this Eggnog Cake Recipe Every now and then don't you come across a recipe book that you seem to favor? I do. I have had this recipe book for almost 30 years. It is one of those non-descript spiral bound fundraiser cookbooks. And this one had each page painfully hand typed. It was from one of my grandma's favorite civic organizations that she chaired - The Navy League in Alameda County. Italian dessert recipes are only a portion of this cookbook.
