1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
2 cups Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 cups Shortening
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
1 Large Egg
2 Tablespoons Rum

1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or round cake pan.
3
Sift together salt, cloves, cinnamon, flour, and baking soda; reserve.
4
Cream shortening and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in egg, rum, and vanilla. Mix in eggnog. Gradually add in the flour mixture until combined.
5
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
6
For the frosting:
7
Combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water. Whisking gently but constantly, heat mixture until slightly thickened, foamy, and it registers 150u00b0F on an instant-read thermometer, about 2-3 minutes.
8
Place bowl in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat mixture on medium speed until it has the consistency of shaving cream and is slightly cooled, 1-2 minutes. Add butter, 1 piece at a time, until smooth and creamy. Once all butter is added, add rum extract; mix until combined.
9
Increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy and thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. Spread on cooled cake.
