With the holidays coming up there are a ton of dessert recipes to make and this eggnog cake by Cupcakes and Kale Chips is a great treat for those that happen to be dairy and gluten-free. Despite the edit in ingredients and flours this cake is incredibly moist, sweet and filled with holiday flavor thanks to the use of a nut-based egg nog drink.
Eggnog is a quintessential holiday beverage many enjoy that also lends its tastes well to baking. This Eggnog Crumb Cake uses an almond milk version that features a similar taste without the use of dairy products. The nut milk is then added to a base made from gluten-free almond, oat and coconut flour and spices, nuts, eggs and avocado oil. The cake can also be served with an accompanying eggnog drizzle icing made from the same dairy-free eggnog drink.
