Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups eggnog, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons white rum

Cake

  • 1 tablespoon butter, or as needed
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup white rum
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat an 11×7-inch baking pan with butter.

Step 2
Beat eggs in a bowl until frothy. Add sugar and continue to beat until thick and creamy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rum and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until just combined; do not overbeat. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes. Allow to cool.

Step 4
Combine sweetened condensed milk, eggnog, and rum in a bowl and stir until well combined. Poke holes throughout the cooled cake using a skewer or toothpick. Slowly pour sauce over the cake. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate until sauce is absorbed, at least 2 hours.

Cook’s Note:

If you prefer, 1/4 cup room-temperature eggnog can be substituted for the rum in the cake batter.
