Notes
Wooden spoon trick: Use the end of a wooden handle spoon, a chopstick or something similar to poke holes in the cake. This helps the sauce saturate the cake and achieve an evenly moist result.
Chilled mixing bowl: I like to whip my topping in a chilled bowl to get it to beat up quicker.
Use warm milky mix to soak in: Pour the milky mixture over the cake while it is warm for best results.
Let flavors meld: Let the cake to sit for a few hours or overnight after adding the eggnog mixture to let the flavors meld together for the best taste.
Don’t over-pour: Pour the eggnog mixture slowly and in stages, giving the cake time to absorb the liquid without becoming too soggy.
