Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose Flour 
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/3 cup Sugar
• 1 cup (8 oz) Eggnog
• 1/3 cup Vegetable or Coconut Oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped Cranberries (coated/mixed with 2 tablespoons flour from the 2 cups flour)
• 1 cup Espresso Chocolate Chips
• 1 cup Confectioners (powdered) Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 3 teaspoons Eggnog

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Butter and flour a 6-cup bundt pan. Make sure to grease all the nooks and corner of the bundt pan especially if using a fancy one. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.  In another large bowl, beat the eggs. No need for a mixer to do this; a sturdy whisk should do. I made this without using one and it came out fine. Add the sugar, eggnog, oil and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Alternately add the flour and the eggnog mixing everything after each addition until everything is blended. I divide the flour mix into three parts when I do this and then pour eggnog in between. Fold in the chopped cranberries (previously mixed with flour) and whatever remaining flour and the espresso chocolate chips. Transfer to the bundt pan ensuring every corner is properly filled. Smooth out the surface of the batter. Tap the cake on the counter top to release any remaining air bubbles (to prevent cake from falling). Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Leave it to cool in the bundt for about 10 minutes. Release the cake onto a rack to cool completely. Glaze the cake if desired. For the glaze: In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the glaze. Mix well until you reach a glaze consistency. Drizzle the glaze all over the cake. Enjoy!
