Notes

  • If you use a different brand of cake mix, simply replace the water/milk called for on the box with eggnog.
  • If you choose to bake this recipe in 2 8-inch round cake pans, be sure to double the frosting.
  • Use additional eggnog to make your frosting more spreadable. Start with a tablespoon and work your way up slowly until you reach the desired consistency.
  • You can garnish this cake with sprinkles to make it even more festive!
Storage: Store eggnog sheet cake tightly covered with plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 3 days.
