Egg Nog Coffee Cake

When the coffee cake was baked and out of the oven I could hardly wait to dig in. All I can say about this recipe is that it defiantly didn't disappoint. Goodness this coffee cake was so moist, so delicious and had such a festive flavor to it.

Even my little guy who dislikes eggnog said he loved it. I know this recipe will become a holiday favorite from here on out in our house. I think I might even freeze some egg nog so I can enjoy it throughout the year.
