This was so easy to make and tasted great! Very moist and gave the flavor of eggnog. Will definitely be making again as everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very simple to make, which was great! Made cupcakes out of the batter and followed the recipe exactly. Definitely gives you the eggnog flavor when you don't have eggnog to drink!
