Eggnog Crumb Cake is a classic breakfast delicacy enhanced with festive tastes. Warm notes of ground cinnamon and nutmeg contrast with eggnog, which appears in both the cake and glaze. While hot chocolate is the highlight of the winter season, eggnog is what truly makes the holidays feel like the holidays. Whether laced with rum or not, the creamy, luscious cocktail elevates enjoyment to new heights.

Bake the cake until a toothpick comes out fairly clean. A few moist crumbs on the toothpick are also acceptable, as the crumb cake will continue to bake after it is removed from the oven. While the crumb cake cools, create the glaze. The glaze is made of powdered sugar, eggnog, and nutmeg, which emphasizes the eggnog flavor! After the crumb cake has cooled for about fifteen minutes, drizzle with the glaze. If you pour the glaze over the crumb cake straight from the oven, it will melt into the cake and not be visible on top.
