Eggnog Bundt Cake with Eggnog Sugar Glaze

The other day I was sitting on the couch watching The Walking Dead with my husband and thought….hmmm I should make an eggnog bundt cake.  True story.  Why this occurred to me at that moment, I have no idea.  I think that it’s likely due to the fact that my brain is pretty much never quiet.  That and I do everything I can not to pay attention to The Walking Dead because really, it’s a horrible show.  It really is.  Anyway.  At least one good thing came out of it that night…an idea.

This idea…a delicious and warm spicy eggnog cake.  With an eggnog sugar glaze.

So in the morning I set to baking and made this cake come to life.  I essentially made my coconut bundt cake, but adjusted it for the eggnog.  And once it was done I of course covered said cake in an eggnog sugar glaze then shared it with my 5 year old for lunch.  Because why not?  Some days just call for cake in the middle of the day.  😉
