Eggnog Bread

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter, then set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Whisk ingredients together then set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs, granulated sugar, melted (and cooled) butter, eggnog, rum and vanilla extracts, and mix well to combine.

Step 5

Add the dry mixture to the eggnog mixture and stir until batter is combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes.

Step 7

Check the bread before the time is up to make sure it is baked through completely. Test this by sticking a toothpick into the center, and if it comes out clean the bread is ready to come out. Take the bread out of the oven and let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.

Step 8

While the bread bakes, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, and eggnog and mix until smooth. Additional eggnog can be added to thin out the glaze to reach your desired texture. Add in a dash of nutmeg for a little extra nutmeg flavor.  Allow the bread to cool completely before drizzling the icing over the top. Slice the bread, serve and enjoy!
