Eggnog Coffee Cake

During christmas time, there is the at one thing people either love or hate, Eggnog.  I might not be totally on board with drinking it, however I am a huge fan on how it makes this coffee cake delicious. The rich egg flavor helps bring out the flavor and makes a great base for the coffee cake. The cinnamon streusel gives the coffee cake some sweetness then top off with an additional layer of eggnog icing right after baking. It will be a holiday staple for years to come. 

In a large bowl, start to prepare the coffee cake by creaming the butter and sugar until blended. Slowly add the eggs, one at a time until incorporated. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk eggnog, sour cream and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, clove, baking soda and salt.

Add flour mixture to the butter mixture alternating with eggnog mixture, beating well after each addition.

In a small bowl, make the streusel by mixing the sugar, flour, butter, pecans and cinnamon until blended. Pour batter into the prepared 13"x 9" pan. Sprinkle with streusel topping. Bake at 350°F degrees for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the coffee cake bakes, make the eggnog glaze. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth.

Once the coffee cake is done, let cool for about 5 minutes and drizzle the glaze over the cake. Serve warm.
