Ingredients:
4 eggs, yolk and whites separatedย
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 tbsp + 1 tsp of baking powder
1 ยผ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
ยผ tsp nutmeg
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Milk mixture:
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 (14oz) can condensed milk
1 or 1 1/4 cup eggnog
1 tsp of cinnamon
A couple dashes of nutmeg
For whipped cream topping:
1 cup of heavy cream
2-3 tbsp of eggnog
2-3 tbsps of sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease/butter an 8x8 metal pan then set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices until combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and vanilla. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites until fluffy with soft peaks. Slowly add in the sugar until combined.
Add the egg white mixture to egg yolk mixture, and gently fold it in so itโs combined.
Then sift and fold in the dry ingredients slowly to the wet batter until just combined. Do NOT overmix.
Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the three milk mixture. Combine the three liquids (evaporated milk, condensed milk, and eggnog), and spices until fully combined.
Remove cake from oven once finished baking then immediately poke holes throughout the cake with a fork. Do not poke all the way through the bottom.
Pour the milk mixture over the entire cake.
Cover the cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to overnight. I let mine soak overnight.
After the cake has chilled and soaked in the milks, prepare the whipped cream. Add the heavy cream and eggnog to a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until cream starts to thicken, then add in the powdered sugar. Continue mixing on medium to high speed until soft peaks form.
Spoon the whipped cream onto the cake, spread with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve the cake with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
