Christmas Eggnog Poundcake

James LOVES eggnog, but since he isn't allowed to add the spirits he says is needed to make it taste better, he didn't drink the eggnog that I bought him. Well, instead of letting it waste, I made a cake from it. I took a poundcake recipe and somewhat modified it. Here it is and let me tell you, we loved it.

Christmas Eggnog Poundcake

1 cup butter softened
1 cup crisco shortening
3 cups swans down cake mix plus 6 tablespoons
1 cup eggnog
1 cup flake coconut
3 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 tsp of lemon flavoring
1 tsp of vanilla flavoring

cream butter and shortening. Gradually add sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beat for one minute each. Add flour and eggnog, beginning and ending with flour. (Make sure you sift the flour) Stir in the coconut and the flavorings. Blend well. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 25 minutes.

DON'T PREHEAT YOUR OVEN. Let the oven start cold.
Enjoy!!!!
