Christmas Holiday Cake Squares
This Christmas dessert is like little samplings of fruitcake sprinkled with powdered sugar, only better because it contains eggnog. I think you might be delightfully surprised.
This cake is baked in a sheet pan, sprinkled with powdered sugar and cut into squares. For an added festive touch, after you have arranged the squares on your serving plate, sprinkle a little red sugar around the edges.
It’s also perfect to pack and carry to your holiday parties. This is a beautiful dessert for Christmas and Thanksgiving and any holiday party.
