Overnight Eggnog Streusel Coffee Cake

This make-ahead holiday coffee cake is infused with eggnog and rum extract, and topped with a streusel topping and drizzled with an eggnog glaze.
Eggnog is one of those things that you either love or hate. For me, I love to drink eggnog and bake with it as well. When I saw this recipe for Eggnog Streusel Coffee Cake over at Mandy's Recipe Box, I knew I had to make it! I wanted to make this as part of our Christmas morning breakfast along with a savory breakfast casserole. 

This festive coffee cake can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator or prepared the morning of serving. I like to assemble this coffee cake the night before so the flavors have time to blend and mingle together. This is also a huge time saver on Christmas morning.   

Once I got my first bite this coffee cake definitely did not disappoint! It was so moist and have a delicious eggnog flavor. Even my little guy who dislikes eggnog said he loved it. I think this recipe will become a holiday favorite in our house.

Hi!
I wanted to try this recipe for dessert, tonight after dinner. Why does it have to be refrigerated for at least 8 hours
Tina Butler said…
@jeejee,
That is what the orginal recipe stated. It is an overnight coffee cake. I can't answer that ? for you so you will need to ask Mandy at Mandy's Recipe Box. That is where the original recipe came from.

I made this with the rum extract and it was a favorite at a recent family party!

Don't have the extract. Just leave it out or maybe use vanilla? Let me know what you all think. Thanks.

(Comment #14) It always amazes me how someone has something to say and they post "Anonymous". Perhaps it is because they are embarrassed to leave their real name. Get your facts straight as I have credited the source of this recipe and it is not written word for word. Anonymous you are barking up the wrong tree and I hope you have a blessed day.
