- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

- 1 cup butter, softened

- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 3 large eggs

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 cup eggnog

- 2 tablespoons rum or brandy, optional

- 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, then the eggnog. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the rum or brandy, if using, and the chopped pecans.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
