Egg Nog is one of those things that you either love or hate. Me, I love to drink it and bake with it as well. When I saw this recipe for Egg Nog Coffee Cake over at Mandy's Recipe Box, I knew I had to make it. Mandy's photos had me drooling all over my keyboard.
I wanted to make this as part of our Christmas morning breakfast. I already had a savory breakfast casserole, so this coffee cake was perfect for the sweet portion of the meal.The best part about this recipe is that I could prepare and assemble the coffee cake the night before. Then it stores easily in the refrigerator. This was such a huge time saver on Christmas morning.
When the coffee cake was baked and out of the oven I could hardly wait to dig in. All I can say about this recipe is that it defiantly didn't disappoint. Goodness this coffee cake was so moist, so delicious and had such a festive flavor to it.Even my little guy who dislikes eggnog said he loved it. I know this recipe will become a holiday favorite from here on out in our house. I think I might even freeze some egg nog so I can enjoy it throughout the year.

I made the egg nog coffee cake there are no words to describe how good this is everyone should at least try it. Thank you so much.
Hi!
I wanted to try this recipe for dessert, tonight after dinner. Why does it have to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours
@jeejee,
That is what the orginal recipe stated. It is an overnight coffee cake. I can't answer that ? for you so you will need to ask Mandy at Mandy's Recipe Box. That is where the original recipe came from.
Mmm these look so tasty! I think they'll have to be getting a try this weekend hehe :) - Cathy Pieroz at Ray White Alexandra Hills
