Egg Nog Leches Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour, or spray with baking spray, a 13x9x2-inch glass baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with 13x9x2-inch piece of parchment paper.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a mixing bowl at medium speed, beat the butter until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl with a spatula occasionally.

Add the sugar gradually, beating until thoroughly blended. Add the eggs, one by one, thoroughly blending after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.

Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and beat until blended. Add 1 cup egg nog and ½ of the remaining flour mixture; beat for 30 seconds; scrape down the sides of the bowl; add the remaining flour mixture and beat for 30 seconds more. Do not overbeat.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Cool to room temperature on a rack.
