Ingredients

Cake

  • 1/2 cup butter {softened}
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar {packed}
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup egg nog
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter {softened}
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar {packed}
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Glaze

  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4-5 tbsp egg nog
  • pinch cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with non stick spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Combine with a hand held mixer {stand mixer or by hand} until creamy.
  • Add flour, salt and baking powder and mix to combine. The mixture might be a bit crumbly but that is alright.
  • Add the egg nog and sour cream all at once and combine until you have a nice cake batter. Pour batter into the prepared 9x9 pan. 

Crumb Topping

  • To make the crumb topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into the other ingredients until you have crumbs. Do not over mix or you will have a paste.
  • Top cake batter with crumbs in an even and thick layer.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.

Glaze

  • Combine glaze ingredients and whisk together. Drizzle over the top of cooled cake and serve.
  • Store your covered eggnog coffee cake at room temperature or in refrigerator for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
