    I don't know about you, but I'm all caught up in the holiday spirit over here!

    Small cupcakes glazed in eggnog icing and topped with candied cranberries on a clear plate.

    It's no secret that I LOVE entertaining, but during the holidays you can just multiply that times 100. I live to feed people, just ask anyone that knows me! Our friends and family are constantly on the receiving end of food offerings and Christmas is when I get to pull out all the stops. Decadent cookies, boozy cocktails and festive cakes like this Gluten Free Eggnog Bundt Cake are all making appearances at our house this year and they will most definitely be making their way around to our friends and family's houses too!

    A tall bundt cake is on a clear plate. There is powdered sugar being sifted over the top of the cake.

    This Gluten Free Eggnog Bundt Cake is a real showstopper! I have already baked it up in a traditional bundt pan, cupcake tins, and fancy pants vintage tins this season all with stellar results. The rich, spongy cake and the icing are laced with eggnog and lots of freshly grated nutmeg for an intense holiday flavor that is sure to be the super-star on any dessert spread. (Although, the flavor of this cake stands alone on it's own with just a light sprinkling of powdered sugar!)

    This Gluten Free Eggnog Bundt Cake is the perfect match for just about any beverage pairing although I really love pairing it with a giant glass of spiked eggnog. I figure eggnog season is only here for about 30 -45 days so I better make the most of it!

    Whatever you do this holiday season, don't forget to take care of you! Think about the energy you are putting out there, I bet just like me you will find a few ways to cut some corners so that you can enjoy the magic you are making just as much as everyone else!

    • Prep Time: 15 mins
    • Cook Time: 45 mins
    • Total Time: 1 hour
    • Yield: 8-10 1x

    Ingredients

    Scale

    For the cake

    • Coconut oil for greasing pan
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
    • 4 tablespoons eggnog
    • 1 tablespoon gluten free vanilla paste or extract
    • 1 tablespoon spiced rum
    • 4½ cups blanched almond flour
    • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 tablespoon freshly ground nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

    For the eggnog glaze

    • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
    • 4-8 tablespoons eggnog
    • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg

    For the garnish

    • sugared cranberries (optional)
    • sugared bay leaves ( optional)
    • powdered sugar, if not using icing

    Instructions

    1. To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F and adjust the rack to the middle position. Grease a bundt pan liberally with coconut oil to ensure that the entire pan is well-coated. Set aside.
    2. Place the eggs and the brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes until the mixture is pale in color. With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly add the cooled butter, eggnog and vanilla. Mix until incorporated.
    3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt until combined. Pour the egg and sugar mixture over the flour mixture and fold until incorporated.
    4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until the cake is golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean. Coo completely in the pan on a wire rack, then invert onto a plate.
    5. To make the glaze combine the confectioners' sugar, eggnog, and nutmeg in a bowl. Whisk until combined with no chunks of sugar remaining. Pour the glaze directly over the cooled cake or drizzle over the cake with a spoon. If the mixture is too thick to pour add more eggnog 1 tablespoon at a time until the icing is pourable.
    6. Garnish with sugared cranberries and bay leaves if using.

    What are the health benefits of almond flour?

    Almond flour is a more nutritious, gluten free alternative to wheat flour. Made from blanched almonds, it is full of essential nutrients, especially Vitamin E and magnesium. These nutrients help to regulate blood sugar and reduce the risk of heart disease.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the point of a Bundt cake?

    A Bundt cake pan is used to cook the batter more evenly. When more of the cake is touching the sides of the pan, you will avoid overbaking the outside and under-baking the inside.

    Can you make a Bundt cake without a bundt pan?

    If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can still make a Bundt cake. Use a round cake pan and place an empty can in the middle. Pour the batter around the can, and you're ready to bake.

    When should you take a bundt cake out of the pan?

    It is usually a good idea to let a Bundt cake cool for about 10 minutes before turning over.

        Thank you so much Kate! I feel like eggnog season should be longer than it is 🙂
