I forgot how DELICIOUS this Eggnog Bread is!!! I haven't had it in forever!!! Well, since I lived in Florida many, many years ago!! Thank you, to my very special Florida friend for sharing the recipe with me!!

Eggnog Bread

INGREDIENTS:

bread ingredients:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup eggnog

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled a few minutes

2 tsp. rum extract

1 tsp. vanilla

2 1/4 cups flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

glaze ingredients: (the glaze is optional)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp. rum extract

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 1/2 tbsp. milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

Heat oven to 350. 

Grease bottom of 9x5 loaf pan. 

Beat eggs. Add sugar, eggnog, butter, rum extract and vanilla; blend well. 

Add flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. 

Pour into greased pan. 

Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes, or until toothpick in center comes out clean. 

Cool 10 minutes in pan. Cool completely on rack.

If glazing...wait until bread is cool then mix glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Glaze should be thick but, you should be able to drizzle it from a spoon. If it's too thick, add a tiny bit more milk. Drizzle glaze over bread.

Enjoy!!!

TIP: If you substitute rum for the rum extract, I'd use a dark spiced rum.
