I just made my first ever Bundt a month ago. Here’s the recipe. (It’s a heart attack in a pan, but is sooooooo freaking good.)

Eggnog Poundcake

Cream:  
1 ½ c. butter (real butter)  
3 c. sugar

Add:  
5 eggs, beating after each egg!

Mix:  
3 c. flour,  
¾ tsp. salt  
1 tsp. baking powder  
1 tsp. nutmeg

Add dry ingredients, alternating with  
1 c. eggnog, plus  
1 tsp. vanilla

Grease a large bundt pan or 3 loaf pans.  
Bake at 350 for 70 minutes.  
Be careful not to overbake.  
Cool the cake at least 10-15 minutes before you remove it from the pan.

Glaze  
¼ c. butter  
2/3 c. sugar  
1/3 c. eggnog  
½ tsp. nutmeg

\*Rum or rum flavoring can be added (I do add rum or rum flavoring depending on where I am taking it)

Heat until sugar is dissolved then add flavorings. Pour over cake while it is warm. Let cake really soak - I let it soak at least four hours or so. I like for the glaze to get sugary again.
