Description
A festive and moist quick bread infused with the classic holiday flavors of eggnog, rum extract, and nutmeg, perfect for gifting or a cozy treat.
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
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Stir in melted butter, eggnog, rum flavor extract, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Step 7: Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the loaf set and prevents sticking.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled bread (powdered sugar mixed with a splash of eggnog and a tiny bit of rum extract). You can also add ½ cup of white chocolate chips or chopped pecans to the batter for more texture and flavor.
