Eggnog Winter Cake, December 29, 2003 - 01:39 AM
Reviewer: KT from Foslom, CA USA
I made this cake for the first time on Christmas Day 2003 for a family dinner at my mom's house. I can't believe how many relatives remarked on how delicious and moist this cake was --- and this was served to a room full of people who are not afraid to tell you when something is good and when it’s not so good! I was skeptical at first because it was so simple to make that I had second thoughts about bringing it at all. I’m so glad I decided to bring the cake! Relatives (finicky and the not so finicky) RAVED about delicious it was and little did they know that it was really so easy to make! This cake can be served with the utmost confidence because when I turned to get myself a piece, the whole cake was gone!
