Easy Festive Holiday Dessert

 By Debra Sennefelder   

Happy Holidays! It's clear that this holiday season is going to be different from years past. But that doesn't mean it can't be merry and festive and yummy! And I have the perfect dessert to whip up that will impress. Mini-Eggnog Cranberry Pound Cakes. You can also make one large cake if you choose. Take a look at the little beauties.

I had an island full of those yummy little cakes. Ready for the recipe? Okay, let's do this.

What you'll need:

One box of pound cake mix along withe the ingredients listed on the box but you'll replace the milk with eggnog and you'll add 3/4 cup finely chopped cranberries and a dash of vanilla to the batter. In addition, you'll dust each cake with confectioner's sugar.

See. I told you it was simple!

Once the cakes cool, you'll dust them with the sugar and then wrap with cellophane and tie with ribbon if you'll be delivering them.

 

There you go! A treat that definitely will impress. 

Now, I'd love to hear your best kitchen shortcut.
