Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil or butter, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
- In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them gently. Add the buttermilk and vegetable oil, mixing until well incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, using a spatula to smooth the tops.
- Place the cake pans in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pans from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Invert them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the eggnog.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost one layer with eggnog buttercream, then layer the second cake on top and frost the entire cake.
- Decorate with festive touches like cinnamon or glitter, slice, and serve.
