How to cook deliciously - Eggnog Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the blend is light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the extracts.

2. Stage

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the eggnog, beating well after each addition.

3. Stage

Pour the batter into two greased 9-inch round baking pans. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool completely.

4. Stage

In a small saucepan, combine the flour and salt. Gradually stir in the eggnog, mixing until the blend is smooth. Bring this mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, then cook and stir until it has thickened, about two minutes. Cool the mixture to room temperature.

5. Stage

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and confectioners' sugar until the blend is light and fluffy, three to four minutes. Gradually beat in the eggnog mixture and vanilla, mixing until the frosting is smooth.

6. Stage

Spread the frosting between the layers of the cake and stack them, then frost the top and sides of the cake. If you'd like, pipe additional frosting for decoration atop the cake and add decorative nonpareils.
