2101.0. "CAKE: Cranberry Eggnog Cake" by AKO569::JOY (Gotta get back to Greece!) Tue Nov 14 1989 18:25

    Does anyone have a recipe for a Cranberry Eggnog Cake? I saw a picture
    of one in a catalog and it looked SO good, but they wanted $29 for it!!
    It was like a bundt cake, almost a pound-cake like texture from what I
    could tell. I was thinking about modifying a regular pound-cake recipe
    and adding cranberries but I'm afraid substituting eggnog for the milk
    might make it too sweet. Any ideas?
    
    Thanks

    I know nothing about cranberry eggnog cake but I'm sure substituting
    eggnog for milk will not make the cake too sweet.  Cranberries are
    *very* tart.
    
    Good luck!

This isn't a cake, but it sounds similar to the request in .0, so I thought I'd
post it here.  It's delicious!

1 cup sugar
1 cup dairy eggnog (not canned)

eggs in large bowl.  Add sugar, eggnog, margarine, rum extract and vanilla;
