, which appeared in the newspaper several years ago.

Food editor Natalie Haughton created this Holiday Eggnog Cake in her Restaurant Replicas column. This cake is reminiscent of one served at Mimi's Cafe in Chatsworth several years ago. It is not an exact facsimile, but the flavors are similar.

Preparation time was kept to a minimum for holiday cooks by utilizing a white cake mix and vanilla pudding mix. Just prepare the cake mix according to according to

The filling and frosting is made with instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix beaten with eggnog and ground nutmeg nutmeg, name applied to members of the family Myristicaceae. The true nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) is an evergreen tree native to the Moluccas but now cultivated elsewhere in the tropics and to a limited extent in S Florida. . To lighten the mixture, fold in whipped cream and it is ready to use. Once the cake is assembled, the same mixture is used for the filling and frosting.

Before serving, garnish the top with several small green candy wreaths (made with molds and melted green coating candy from cake or candy decorating shops) decorated with little red bows or berries of candy coating. Or use unwrapped holiday chocolate candy in decorative shapes. Be sure to keep any leftover cake refrigerated.

For a change, use a chocolate cake, if desired. This recipe is a good way to use holiday eggnog. During the yule season, serve this delicious and decorative cake for parties, family gatherings, dinner parties or any special festivity.
