Make This Now: Mini Eggnog Bundt Cakes
Eggnog is synonymous with Christmas cheer! Our test kitchen was inspired by this rich and creamy drink and turned it into our dessert of the season: Mini Eggnog Bundt Cakes. These “bundtlettes” (how cute is that?) use store-bought eggnog to make the cakes rich and tender and flavor the milky glaze. Learn how to make this recipe for yourself HERE.
