Eggnog Cake

Made this for the first time recently and it was a hit. I used my new bunt pan! Next time I make it, I'm going to try drizzling some brandy over the cake before frosting. I'll let you know how it turns out. I didn't use all of the frosting, but you certainly could.

1/2 c butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c. egg nog
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp rum, brandy or extract there of
3 c flour
3/4 tsp salt
2 Tbs water

Beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs and flavorings. Alternately add flour and egg nog and water. Beat until smooth. Pour into a greased 10 tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 min or until done. Cool in pan for 15 min then remove from pan to continue cooling.
