For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, rum, ground nutmeg, cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and eggnog.
- Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 3 minutes until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into three well-greased 8-inch round cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them.
- Once cooled, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
-
For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly incorporate the eggnog into the cream cheese mixture, adding it 1/2 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency and flavor.
- If desired, stir in food coloring to achieve the desired color for your frosting.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, use the cream cheese frosting to fill and frost the cake layers generously.
- For a decorative touch, you can sprinkle additional ground nutmeg on top of the frosted cake before serving.
