1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 cup eggnog (or half & half)

Step 2
Add the butter to a stand mixer and beat on medium-high until very creamy.
Add the sugar one cup at a time and continue beating until mixture is fluffy and well incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Beat in the eggs on medium speed, one at a time. Mix just until the yolk is combined. Avoid over-beating the eggs.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and sea salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the mixer with the wet ingredients.
Beat in half of the eggnog just until combined.
Repeat with remaining flour and eggnog, beating just until the mixture is combined. Don't over-beat the cake batter.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared bundt cake pan.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 50 to 60 minutes, until cake is golden-brown and tests clean. Once the cake is out of the oven, allow it to cool completely.
Glaze
Things You'll Need
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp eggnog or cream
¼ tsp brandy extract, optional
Pinch cloves
Pinch sea salt
Step 1
Stir together all of the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl until glaze is creamy and all of the powdered sugar lumps are out.
Gently run a knife between the cake and the bundt cake pan (to help release it from the mold), and turn out onto a serving plate or cake stand.
Pour the glaze over the cake.
Slice and serve!
