I firmly believe that we have to enjoy the small moments. One of them is this simple eggnog coffee cake. It needs about 20 minutes to prepare and then has to be baked for almost an hour, but I believe it is so worth it. My husband ate this cake single-handedly within a few days and requested for me to make it again very soon.

Happy Easter! Today I am presenting a very simple cake, which we are going to make in a lamb mold. Yes, you may make this cake in a bundt cake form, but for Easter it needs to be more special.

This eggnog is prepared with raw eggs, so be sure that they are fresh. It is aged over time, thus you will not need to heat anything. With age it matures in flavor. The original recipe says to start two to weeks prior consumption, so this is the perfect time if you want to enjoy it for Christmas.
