Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter melted and cooled
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp Rum Flavored Extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 3 Tbsp Eggnog
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp rum or rum extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray a 9X5 loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.  Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
  • In a separate bowl of a stand up mixer, beat together the eggs, sugar, butter, eggnog, vanilla extract and rum flavored extract.
  • Then add the flour mixture into the eggnog mixture and stir in with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a prepared pan. Bake for 50-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then carefully move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the bread is cooling, whisk together the glaze ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled eggnog bread.
  • Then the bread is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

If the top of the bread is getting too brown when baking and the inside is not cooked through, tent the loaf pan with foil to finish baking until the bread is cooked through. 
The bread will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can use rum instead of rum extract in this recipe but you will need to use more since rum extract is concentrated.
You will need to use 1 tablespoon of rum for every teaspoon of rum extract to get the flavor needed.
