I realize it’s only November but the weather is finally cooling down and my sweaters and tall boots are officially back in the wardrobe rotation. The chilly nights and frosty mornings only confirm that the holiday season will soon be upon us. And I could not help but to jump right in, totally ready for holiday baking! Who’s with me?<\/p>\n

\"Eggnog<\/p>\n

We all have those favorite holiday recipes that we hold dear, year after year. They go hand in hand with the spirit of the holidays and are the most delicious way to spread some cheer. If you’re like me and eggnog is one of your favorite holiday indulgences, then this cake is meant for you!<\/p>\n

\"Eggnog<\/p>\n

We’re elevating this recipe to new eggnog heights with the help of Promised Land Dairy’s Holiday Nog<\/strong>. It’s the ultimate when it comes to think, dreamy nog with the perfect hint of spice. Because Promised Land Dairy has been producing sustainable milk the same way for 30 years with a small herd of Jersey cows, their milk is uniquely special with its ultra creamy texture and melted milkshake taste. Plus its naturally higher in protein and calcium than ordinary milk, which is a double win in my book. A high quality milk that’s delicious AND adds wholesome goodness to all of our holiday recipes. Now that’s what I’m talking about! Cookies, bars, pies and cheesecake all benefit from a splash of Holiday Nog. Straight up pour yourself a glass of this exceptional milk and you’ll bennefit too!<\/p>\n

Of course today’s cake is benefitting as well. A basic butter cake gets a splendid update with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and a hefty cup of Holiday Nog. It’s moist, delicious and will definitely have you feeling festive. But what I loved most about this cake was the eggnog buttercream! The Holiday Nog really amps up a traditional Swiss meringue buttercream in all the right ways. Smooth, creamy and tastes like a winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

And since the holiday season is no time to mess around with ordinary, I decided to go big with the decorations on this cake. Your response to the buttercream flowers on my Pumpkin Spice Cake<\/b><\/a> inspired me to do something similar with this cake, only tweaked for the winter holidays. I love the look of fresh greenery mixed with wood toned neutrals, so I went for lots of mossy green leaves, much like silver dollar eucalyptus, mixed with broken cinnamon sticks and whole nutmeg. The end result looks like the holidays, smells like the holidays and tastes like holiday cheer! And this time I’m hooking you up with a video tutorial!\u00a0Hooray for holiday baking!<\/p>\n
