Egg Nog Mini Pound Cakes

I love pound cake. Mostly because it is so versatile, pound cake makes a great breakfast, brunch, or dessert. You can cook pound cakes in loaf tins, bundt, or cake pans. This eggnog pound cake is the perfect holiday flavor, mostly because eggnog is only available around Christmas time! The eggnog flavor comes through but isn’t overpowering so even non-eggnog lovers could be pleased with this cake! I like to leave these egg nog pound cakes naked because I prefer to have them for breakfast, but if you wanted to ice this one, it would be great with a vanilla or cinnamon glaze.


I like to line my pans with parchment paper and spray with a little avocado oil so my cakes come out nice and easy.

These mini loafs also make great Holiday gifts! Make a few to bring over for Christmas morning or for dropping by a neighbors porch. They look really cute wrapped up in parchment or you can bake in tiny paper tins.

The inside of these cakes are so nice and soft. You can see the dense crumb like a pound cake should have, but these ones aren’t too heavy.
