(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 5 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp eggnog

Directions

  1. Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Whisk the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla until combined.

  2. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the sour cream in two batches. Increase the mixer spreed to medium high and beat until well combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan; set aside.

  3. Make the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumpy. Scatter the topping over the cake batter. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 20 minutes, then remove the springform ring and let cool completely.

  4. Make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar with 3 tbsp eggnog in a medium bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, gradually whisk in the remaining 1 tbsp eggnog, as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the cake before serving.
