EGGNOG POUND CAKE 
About 2 tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1 pkg. yellow cake mix
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. purchased eggnog
4 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tbsp. rum or 1/4 tsp. rum flavoring

Generously grease a 10 inch tube or bundt pan with the softened butter. Press almonds on sides and bottom of pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, nutmeg, eggs, eggnog, the melted butter, and rum. Using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy (about 4 minutes at medium speed) or beat for about 450 strokes with a wooden spoon. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert cake onto a rack to cool completely. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
