My family loves Eggnog pound cake and I make it every chance I can. I made a cake last night for work. I buy alot of eggnog when its in season then measure out 1 cup amounts and freeze it, so when we want eggnog cake, I just pull out what i need. This cake is always so moist and delicious.

    ***** You can make the custard sauce or not. I drizzled vanilla frosting over the cake and then sprinkled nutmeg over the frosting, my family likes it better this way. You can use rum extract too.
