Gluten-Free Eggnog Cake
I made a gluten-free eggnog cake using the Namaste Foods organic yellow cake mix. I love this cake mix because there's only a few ingredients and it's so easy to serve as is or transform into a new flavor. The texture and taste are so great that nobody would ever know it's gluten-free! This cake mix is also free of the top 8 allergens (before anything is that added), moist, fluffy and so delicious. It can be made into cupcakes, cake or a layer cake like we did here.

- 1 12 ounce Namaste organic gluten-free yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 1/2 C eggnog
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. allspice
- 1/2 tsp. gluten-free rum extract
For the eggnog frosting:
- 1/2 C softened butter
- 1/4 C eggnog
- 3 C powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. gluten-free rum extract
- 1/2 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350°
Combine all cake ingredients together and mix well until smooth
Place prepared cake batter into greased 6" cake pans
Bake at 350° for 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Let each layer cool then remove them gently from the pans
In another bowl, combine all frosting ingredients and whip well for two minutes
Place a little bit of that frosting on your cake stand then place the first layer on top of it so that it doesn't move all around
Top that layer with more frosting and spread it then place another cake layer on top
Continue this pattern until all layers have been placed
Gently spread frosting on the outside and top of the cake making sure to leave some open spaces to give it that naked cake look
Wrap fresh rosemary around the base of the cake and place whole cinnamon sticks on top
For the final touch, grate additional fresh nutmeg on top and sides of the cake
