These easy fixes and substitutions will help make this dessert perfect. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Use Homemade Whipped Cream:<\/strong>\u00a0If you would like to substitute <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-whipped-cream\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade whipped cream<\/a> for the whipped topping, add 1 \u00bd cups of chilled heavy whipping cream, \u00bc cups of powdered sugar, and \u00bd teaspoon of vanilla extract to a stand mixer and whip on high with the whisk attachment until the cream reaches medium-stiff peaks.<\/span> Use in place of the whipped topping in step 7.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spike it!<\/strong> Spike your eggnog pudding by replacing \u00bc-\u00bd cup of the eggnog called for in the topping with your favorite spiced rum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Homemade Cake:<\/strong> If you would like to use a homemade cake recipe instead of eggnog added to a cake mix, use my <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/eggnog-cake\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Eggnog Cake<\/a> instead! Add the cake batter to the prepared 9\u00d713-inch cake pan and bake as directed in step 3, or until the center of the cake springs back lightly when pressed on and a toothpick comes out clean.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poking the Holes:<\/strong> I used a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/winco-wwp-18-wooden-spoon-18-inch\/-\/A-84084098#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wooden spoon<\/a> with a narrower handle but next time I would use a wider handle to get bigger pockets of pudding throughout the cake. Poke about \u2154 of the way through the cake when making your holes. Whatever tool you end up using to poke the cake, make sure it\u2019s clean!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Side shot of a piece of eggnog poke cake being lifted out of the baking dish. \" class=\"wp-image-276274\" title=\"Eggnog Poke Cake could not be more perfect for the holiday season!
