Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Eggnog
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Rum extract (optional)
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, vanilla extract, rum extract (if using), and the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Step 8

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 9

Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Sprinkle with ground nutmeg for garnish.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Holiday Eggnog Bread! Wrap leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
