grease paper. Pour batter into pans. Bake at 350'F for 20
minutes or until cake tests done. Cool 5 minutes; remove to

and a small amount of eggnog in a pan; stir until smooth.
Stir in remaining eggnog; bring to a boil, stirring
constantly. Cook and stir 2 minutes. Cool completely. Cream
butter and sugar; add vanilla and nutmeg. Gradually beat in
eggnog mixture. For frosting, mix chocolate, sugar,
cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat in butter and cream. Add water
