dry Eggnog cake

                      Dry Eggnog cake

This is a dry cake recipe with eggnog. This is not the Eierlikoertorte you guys probably all know. I will also post a recipe about that when I found one what worked for me. I currently don't bake much cakes because I am kind off doing a diet lol.

Anyway, a german friend in Virginia Beach asked me for this one. How I can say no to such a request? Alright peeps, here we go.

This is what you need for the german Eggnog:

- 8 Egg yolks

- 250 gr powdered sugar

- 14 gr of Vanilla sugar (or 1 TSP Vanilla extract)

- 3 cups of evaporated milk 

- 1 cup of good Cognac

Mix it all together with the hand blender. Fill it in a bottle and set it aside.

This is what you need for the cake:

- 125 gr Flour

- 125 gr Corn Starch

- 17 gr Baking Powder

- 250 gr Powdered Sugar (Confection sugar)

- 5 Eggs

- 250 ml (1 cup) Vegetable Oil

- 250 ml (1 cup) Eggnog

- 28 gr Vanilla Sugar (or 2 TSP Vanilla Extract)


This is how you do it:

Sift the Flour, Corn starch, Powdered Sugar and Baking Powder in a bowl. In another bowl, wisk the Eggs and add the Oil and Eggnog and Vanilla Extract (if you are using this. If not, add the Vanilla sugar to the Flour mix). 
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well. 

Pour the cake mix into a bunt cake form (you know, the round form with the hole in the middle) you have sprayed with butter first. 

Now put the cake into the COLD oven at 310 Fahrenheit (160 Celcius) for 45 min.. 

Once cooled, dust it with some Powdered Sugar and enjoy.

Guten Appetit
