Eggnog Bundt Cake - Eierlikoerkuchen

I'm so HAPPY to be back.. seriously.. I was getting depressions yesterday but on the flipside, I haven't cleaned my house since the reno started so I got that taken care of at least!



Less to do next week when I'll be deep cleaning the kitchen again...

Anywhoo... on to my first Christmas recipe... I haven't started baking any Christmas cookies... questioning if I'll even get to it... I hate lugging all the crap to my mom's.. I always end up forgetting something. but I digress...

Eierlikoerkuchen minus the dusting of powdered sugar

Ingredients:
5 eggs
250 gr. powdered sugar
2 packets of Vanilla Sugar by Dr. Oetker
250 ml of Sunflower or Safflower Oil
375 ml Verpoorten Eierlikoer* or EggNog
125 gr. flour
125 gr. cornstarch
1 packet of baking powder also by Dr. Oetker

 *you might be able to find this in specialty liquor stores or its available for purchase online!

Recipe
adapted from many German housewives

 Add eggs to powdered sugar and Vanilla sugar, and whip until creamy

slowly add oil and liquor mixture as well as, continue whipping

fold in flour, baking powder and cornstarch into the batter

Pour into pan and bake in the oven for an hour, 1 hr and 15 mins at 300 degrees

I love this cake... I think it's so delicious and moist however the oil really overpowered the cake which is why I will reduce it on my next baking.

Funny thing is, I can't stand Verpoorten on its own.. it just has the oddest texture and taste but in this cake.. O M G.... 

Germans also like this liquor served over ice cream, pudding, cakes or even straight as a shot.

Has anyone ever made anything similar?
