I was tired and needed to use leftover eggnog. I did not feel like baking at all. Made the recipe, in that spirit. It was a breeze to make. I didn’t feel like waiting to put the cake away. While it cooled I just slapped it on my stove and went to bed.
When I woke up it smelled so DELICOUS in my house! The cake looks great and everyone loved it.
