Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For the eggnog buttercream, beat together the softened butter, eggnog, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Notes

  • For a stronger eggnog flavor, add more eggnog to the frosting.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Decorate with cinnamon sticks or nutmeg for a festive touch.
