Follow this sequence for all organic coffee cake recipes. Mix dry ingredients first. Then add organic shortening or butter cutting it into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or by breaking it up with your hands and mixing in.

Then add milk and eggs and mix
with a mixer or preferably a
wooden spoon until just mixed.
Add all ingredients to the
greased baking pan and put on
the center rack of your oven.

Mixing Coffee and Eggnog
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
Last year we wrote about
Eggnog Latte for the Holidays.
Since our favorite season has
arrived again here is a refresher
on the origin of eggnog and the recipe for a great eggnog latte.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
Eggnog probably originated in East Anglia, England and has its roots in a medieval European beverage made with hot milk called posset. Nog comes from noggin which was Middle English for a small carved wood cup used to serve alcohol.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
At the time of its origin the drink was also called egg flip because the preparer flipped or rapidly poured it between two pitchers to mix it. An early reference to egg nog in the colonies in the 18th century is by Isaac Weld who wrote that

“The American travelers, before
they pursued their journey, took a
hearty draught each, according
to custom, of egg-nog, a mixture
composed of new milk, eggs,
rum, and sugar, beat up
together”

Making the Eggnog
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
O Ingredients:
A dozen egg yolks
1 cup of sugar
4 cups of milk
1 cup of chilled heavy cream
Nutmeg, grated
½ cup of bourbon, rum, or brandy
Preferably all organic
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
O Preparation:
Use a medium saucepan.
Whisk the milk and sugar over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
This takes a minute or two.
Use a large bowl to whisk the egg yolks.
Continue to whisk and pour the hot mixture into the yolks, slowly.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1564/eggnog-coffee-cake-for-the-new-year/
Put the mixture back into the cooking pan.
Cook over medium to low heat just below the temperature needed to simmer until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a stirring spoon.
This takes twenty to twenty-five minutes.
Pour through a strainer into a bowl.
Stir in the bourbon, rum or brandy and then the cream.
Garnish with grated nutmeg.
Cover with a plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator to cool.
