Christmas Eggnog Bread
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup eggnog
2 tbsp rum flavor extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Pan: Grease the bottom of a 5×9-inch loaf pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the sugar, melted butter, eggnog, rum extract, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Combine: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the eggnog mixture. Stir just until everything is combined.
Pour & Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 11 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Once fully cooled, can leave as is or glaze.
