Can you even believe Christmas is in 2 weeks from today?! Regardless of what holiday you celebrate, the holiday season is full of joy! I seriously LOVE this time of year (minus the snow of course).

Can I let you in on a little secret if I haven’t already?….

…I hate eggnog. Shock and awe right?! I know that may sound blasphemous to the holidays, but I cannot for the life of me drink the stuff. I have had plenty of people tell me that I must not have tried the homemade kind, which is true. One day I will try it just for you people to double check my claim.

HOWEVER, and yes I meant to say that in all caps, when eggnog is used in baked goods, oh my gosh, its like I can hear an angelic choir in the background while I take and savor each bite. That may seem a little over dramatic but it is true. I LOVE eggnog desserts like these Eggnog Cookies and Eggnog Cinnamon Rolls.

So if you happen to be one of the few like me, who despises the egg nog beverage, do not dismiss the few recipes on my blog. I can 100% attest that they are to die for and the absolute PERFECT holiday treat!

This Eggnog Sheet Cake has eggnog in both the cake batter and the frosting. It is so moist that it just melts in your mouth. This is a holiday must-try! You will not regret it!

      Yay! You will have to let me know how you like it. Please note that steps 2-4 had an error in them and are now corrected. I just wanted to give you the heads up in case you already printed it off :)

    OMG ... I LOVE eggnog! I do not have a jelly roll pan. Can this be made in a 9×13 pan, bundt cake pan or cupcakes? :)

    Do I have to add all the ingredients is Step 4 in the sauce pan?

    1. Chef in Training

      Oh my goodness, I am so sorry about the huge typo. This is how directions 2-4 should have read (and are corrected to read now). I am sorry about my error. You add the mixture you boiled to to the flour/sugar mixture from step 2. then add the ingredients in order in step 4 to that bowl. Please let me know if you have any more questions regarding this recipe. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
