Make the Cake
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Add vanilla. Once vanilla is combined add 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix until just combined, add ½ of the eggnog and mix until combined, add another 1/3 more of the flour mixture until combined, add the final ½ cup eggnog and mix until combined. Finally add the last 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix until combined.
Pour cake mixture into 8X8 and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when put into the center.
Let cake cool.
Making Cake Truffles
Once cake is cooled scrape the cake with a fork breaking the cake apart into crumbles. Once thoroughly crumbled add the cake to a bowl with the eggnog and powdered sugar mixture. Mix until combined and the cake holds its shape when rolled into balls. Roll all the cake into balls that are about 1 Tbsp. in size. Once all the balls are rolled cover them to keep them moist and melt the chocolate in the microwave. Start in 30 second increments stirring the chocolate in between. Reduce to 20second intervals once the chocolate begins to melt stirring in between each time. Once almost all the chocolate is melted stir until all the chocolate is melted and smooth. Roll each cake ball in the chocolate and place on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. When chocolate is still wet sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Continue until all the truffles are coated and put cookie sheet into the refrigerator until chocolate sets.
