Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• For the glaze:
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup eggnog
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ground nutmeg, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the eggnog to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the sour cream until evenly incorporated.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more eggnog; if it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with ground nutmeg.
12. Slice and serve the eggnog bundt cake, and enjoy!
