2 large eggs , whole
¾ cup eggnog
1 teaspoon nutmeg , ground

1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar)
¼ cup eggnog

1 16-ounce pound cake mix, ¾ cup eggnog, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 2 large eggs
Use hand mixer on low speed for 30 seconds then turn it to medium speed and mix 2-3 minutes until ingredients are well-combined
Spoon batter evenly into four mini loafpans or 1 full-size loaf pan; shake pans to flatted batter; the batter will be very thick
Bake @350ºF for 30-minutes or until toothpick comes out clean; cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and cool on cooling rack
OPTIONAL:
Sift powdered sugar over the top of the cake or make a quick eggnog glaze:
Combine powdered sugar and eggnog in bowl;
1 cup confectioner's sugar, ¼ cup eggnog
Drizzle over semi-warm pound cake

Notes

When you get ready to make this, do NOT follow the instructions on the box (It says to add the mix, water or milk, butter and eggs.) IGNORE THAT. All you'll use is the cake mix, eggnog, eggs and ground nutmeg. DO NOT ADD WATER/MILK OR BUTTER.

Pan Size:

Use any of the following:

One 9" x 5" Loaf Pan

Two 8" x 4" Loaf Pans

12 cup Bund™t Pan

12 Mini-Muffin Pan

10" x 4" Tube Pan

When I used as 12-cup mini Bundt™ pan and had a little batter leftover.

Fill the pan up 3/4 of the way; if you fill it completely, the batter will overflow and the bottom of your cake(s) will be "puffy"

If the bottom of your cake(s) turns out "puffy", just use a serrated knife to level the bottom.
