Instructions
Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your yellow cake mix with eggnog until smooth and well-blended. Pour this mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- After the cake has cooled slightly, poke holes all over the top of the cake using a wooden spoon handle.
- In another bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and your choice of milk until it thickens. Pour this mixture over the poked holes in the cake.
- Spread whipped topping over the pudding layer, smoothing it out. Finish by sprinkling freshly grated cinnamon and nutmeg generously on top.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Slice into squares and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Optional: Top with crushed cookies for added texture and crunch. Refrigerate overnight for the best flavor.
