Hey, we’ve almost made it. There’s just one more day until Christmas. I hope all of your Christmas shopping is done. I unfortunately had to run to the mall this morning to replace a present that my kids broke and I am thankful I made it out of there alive. It was CRAZY busy already. Luckily I had my personal Christmas shopping done a while ago, which has given me some time to bake. This Gingerbread Bundt cake with eggnog is my twist on the traditional German Gingerbread cookie called Lebkuchen. This recipe contains the traditional Christmas spices nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. I especially like the addition of molasses and eggnog which makes for a very unique taste. I hope you all stay safe out there!
