Ingredients

For the cake

  • 1 white cake mix
  • 1 1/4 cups eggnog
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

For the Cranberry Sauce

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar

For the pudding

  • 2 boxes 3.4 oz. instant vanilla pudding
  • 3 cups eggnog
  • 2 1/2 cups milk

For the topping

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • Additional cranberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan; line with parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until well combined. Spread into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • While cake bakes and cools, make cranberry sauce and pudding. In a medium saucepan, heat cranberry sauce ingredients to boiling over medium-high heat. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes or until berries have burst and sauce begins to thicken. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In large bowl, whisk pudding ingredients until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cut cooled cake into cubes. Just before assembling trifle, in medium bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed to stiff peaks.
  • In trifle bowl, layer cake cubes, pudding mixture and cranberry sauce; repeat twice. Finish with a final layer of cake and pudding (no cranberry sauce). Top with whipped cream and garnish with additional cranberries, if desired. Serve within 1-2 hours.
