Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick spray. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in white rum and eggnog.
- Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon into the batter and gently fold until just combined.
- Pour prepared batter into the greased baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat together cream cheese and butter until light and airy. Gradually add confectioner's sugar, then pour in eggnog and blend until smooth.
- Layer in a trifle bowl: start with cake cubes, followed by candied nuts, cream cheese filling, and drizzle with caramel. Repeat, finishing with cake, nuts, and cream cheese filling on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Optionally garnish with fresh nuts or caramel before serving.
