Triple Eggnog Cake Recipe

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 round cake pans.
Mix cake mix, 1 1/2 cups eggnog, eggs, butter, nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon rum-flavored extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer until batter is smooth, about 4 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and cool on a wire rack.
Mix 2 cups eggnog, vanilla pudding mix, and 1/2 teaspoon rum-flavored extract together in a bowl until smooth; refrigerate until pudding thickens, at least 30 minutes.
Mix cold water and gelatin together in a bowl until gelatin is dissolved. Beat cream in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form; add gelatin mixture, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon rum-flavored extract, and salt and beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate topping until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
Place 1 cake on a serving plate and spread 1/2 of the filling on top. Place the second cake over the filling and top with remaining filling. Cover entire cake with whipped cream topping. Store cake in refrigerator.

Cook's Note:
Substitute 3 to 4 cups frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®) mixed with 1/2 teaspoon rum extract for the topping, if desired.
Cake can also be baked in a 9x13-inch deep baking dish. If so, cover whole cake with filling and then cover with whipped cream mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg or red/green sugar mixture, if you desire. Keep in refrigerator.
