- Powdered sugar 1/4 cup
- Whipped cream 1 cup

Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or oil.
Prepare the Cake Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine yellow cake mix, eggs, oil and water. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
Bake the Cake
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool Slightly
- Remove cake from oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Warm cake helps eggnog soak better.
Poke the Cake
- Use a toothpick or skewer. Poke holes all over the top of the warm cake evenly.
Pour Eggnog Slowly
- Pour 1 cup eggnog over cake holes. Let it soak into the cake completely for moist texture.
Prepare Pudding Topping
- In a bowl, mix instant pudding and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Spread Pudding on Cake
- Spread pudding evenly over soaked cake using a spatula. Cover all cake holes completely.
Add Whipped Cream
- Top the cake with 1 cup whipped cream. Spread evenly for a creamy layer on top.
Garnish with Nutmeg
- Sprinkle nutmeg lightly over whipped cream. Chill in fridge for 1–2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Warm cake helps eggnog soak better.
- Use toothpick holes evenly for uniform soaking.
- Chill cake before serving for best taste.
