I am so excited about this new Krusteaz Gluten Free Cinnamon Swirl Crumb Cake mix. Since it is made with whole grain sorghum and millet flours, I can now bake up delicious crumb cakes and muffins for my gluten free family members to enjoy.

And since it is the holiday season, I am adding a taste of the holidays to this delicious cinnamon swirl crumb cake by replacing the water with eggnog. The nutmeg from the eggnog complements the cinnamon and gives the cake extra richness. So creamy and so flavorful, this delectable Eggnog Crumb Cake perfectly balances crispy buttery crumb layers with the light and fluffy cake.

I love to serve a variety of sweet treats on Christmas morning, but I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen missing out on all the festivities. Eggnog Crumb Cake is the perfect make ahead solution, since I can whip it up a day (or two) in advance. This is one tasty treat that is destined to become a new holiday tradition!

What is Eggnog, anyway?

Its origins date back to 17th century Britain. During the winter months, the wealthy would drink warm milk and egg beverages seasoned with expensive spices such as ground nutmeg and cinnamon.

The name eggnog comes from the fact that the drink was served in carved wooden mugs or bowls that were known as a noggin, or nog.
