Honestly, this cake is so good, you might just want to make it year-round! I know I will!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bake the Cake in a Pan:<\/strong> To make this in a 9\u00d713 pan, bake for 45-50 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back when you press on it gently or a toothpick comes out clean from the center.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Substitute the Oil for Butter:<\/strong> You can use melted unsalted butter instead of the oil, but typically oil in cakes yields a more tender crumb, and butter results in a more crumbly texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cake Frosting Tips:<\/strong> To make frosting the cake easier I like to make the cake layers a day in advance. I let them cool completely before wrapping them in plastic wrap then place them in the fridge overnight to chill. Cold cakes frost much easier than room temperature or warm ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add a Pastry Cream Filling: <\/strong>Try filling the center of the cake with pastry cream! Spread a thin layer of buttercream over the bottom layer and then pipe a dam of frosting around the edge. Fill with pastry cream (or even vanilla pudding) and top with the second layer,<\/li>\n<li><strong>A Lighter Cake:<\/strong> For a lighter finish, whip up homemade whipped cream and use it to ice the cake, and dust the top with freshly grated nutmeg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Close side view of a slice of cake lifting from the cake.\" class=\"wp-image-235944\" title=\"Festive eggnog cake is the perfect dessert to serve this holiday season!
