Egg Nog Mini Loaf Cake
What is it about Egg Nog? There is some egg… some nog and it tastes like the holiday itself. It’s full-blown nostalgia in a glass. I always forget how delicious it is until I taste it every Christmas season.
At Delish In A Pinch we wanted to infuse that egg nog feeling and flavor into cake form. A cake that would be easy to make, fun to gift, and mini-sized.
The aroma of this batter is intoxicating. Was tempted to take a spoon and just dig in! The two raw eggs made this thought process a bit problematic though! Make sure to smell the batter before baking it.
Let us know what you think, it has already become a fast favorite here!

Add 1/4 cup of mini cinnamon chips and get another level of flavor.
The glaze is not necessary as they are delicious without it.
