We don’t often associate eggnog with an Australian Christmas because it can be so damn hot here at this time of the year. But the flavour is so lovely – so when you flavour the frosting on this Christmas Cake with eggnog – you get the best of both worlds.
Eggnog does not need to be a hot drink it also tastes great cold. And there is no cooking involved! Luckily you’ll have some leftover to enjoy with this fragrant, moist, delicious spiced Christmas cake.
Reserve 1/3 c of the eggnog for the frosting before you add the egg whites at the end. Or just buy some if you prefer.
If you find the top of the cake moves around too much when you are frosting it secure it with a couple of skewers.
