Ingredients

Scale

For the Bread

2 large eggs

1 cup sugar

1 cup eggnog

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tsp rum extract (or vanilla if preferred)

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

For the Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

23 tbsp eggnog

Dash of nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour one 9×5″ loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans.

In a large bowl, beat eggs until light. Add sugar, eggnog, butter, and rum extract; mix well.

In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Pour into prepared pan(s) and bake:

9×5″ loaf: 50–60 minutes

Mini loaves: 30–35 minutes

Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack.

Mix powdered sugar and eggnog to form a thick but pourable glaze. Drizzle over warm or cooled bread. Sprinkle with nutmeg if desired.
