Ingredients:
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter at room temperature (no substitution)
- 6 large eggs at room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted, (I use this flour)
- 1 cup plain eggnog no alcohol or spices added
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease a tube pan (or this bundt pan) with solid vegetable shortening then sprinkle flour or granulated sugar over the shortening.*If you have a 2-part, 10-inch tube pan, wrap aluminum foil around the outside of the bundt pan to prevent any batter from leaking out.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, cream butter until smooth. Add sugar and mix until smooth about 2 to 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add flour and eggnog alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour.
Add vanilla and mix on low to medium until well combined.
Pour batter into a buttered and floured prepared 10-inch tube or bundt pan.
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 20 to 25 minutes before inverting onto a serving tray to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container on the countertop 3 to 4 days.
