EGGNOG CAKE
You will need 1 package (18-1/4 oz) yellow cake mix. If possbile get one without the pudding added.
1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg (I usually only use 3/4 tsp)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
Prepare cake according to package directions, adding the two dry spices.  Pour into a prepared 9x13x2 inch pan.  Preheat your oven to 350 and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool competely on wire rack.

Frosting:
1 1/2  cups of heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons of confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract.
For frosting, in a small mixing bowl, beat cream and confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently old in rum extract, spread on cake. Store in refrigerator.  Servings: 12-15. Enjoy!
