Eggnog Pound Cake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + cooling Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 16-20 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
1 cup eggnog
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 to 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
CUSTARD SAUCE:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Beat on low until for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
For sauce, in a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt; gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool for 15 minutes. Fold in whipped cream. Store in the refrigerator. Serve with the cake. Yield: 16-20 servings.

super easy to do. good flavor. not dense enough to be called a pound cake though. I didn't make the custard sauce.

I got compliments on this, but it didn't brown evenly like in the picture?

I made this cake last year and it turned out wonderful and delicious. When I made it this year it fell. Not sure why, everything is the same...same oven, indgredients etc. Any ideas?
