Overnight Cranberry Eggnog Coffee Cake
Overnight Cranberry Eggnog Coffee Cake - refrigerate batter overnight and bake in the morning. This cake is SOOOO good! I don't even like eggnog, but I LOVED this cake! Butter, sugar, eggs, eggnog, sour cream, vanilla, flour, orange extract, dried cranberries, cinnamon, brown sugar and pecans. This is INCREDIBLE! We like it warm right out of the oven.
This Eggnog and Cranberry Overnight Coffee Cake is the perfect Christmas morning breakfast. You make the coffee cake the night before and bake it the next morning. The cake is so moist and delicious, and the topping puts the coffee cake over the top. SO good!
The cake and glaze use store bought eggnog. I bought a bottle from Publix. I'm not an eggnog drinker, but this cake was delicious with the eggnog in the batter and glaze. We liked the cake slightly warm. If you are having leftovers, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. Perfection! I cannot wait to make this again for Christmas Day!
