  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup homemade eggnog or store-bought dairy eggnog
  • 1/2 cup margarine, melted
  • 2 teaspoons rum extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Eggnog Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons eggnog (adjust to desired glaze consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs until combined. Add 1 cup sugar, 1 cup eggnog, 1/2 cup melted margarine, 2 teaspoons rum extract, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until all wet ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is moist and evenly mixed without overmixing.
  3. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Make the Eggnog Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons eggnog until smooth. Add more eggnog (up to 1 tablespoon) if a thinner glaze is desired.
  5. Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the eggnog glaze evenly over the top of the cooled bread. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh homemade eggnog or a quality store-bought dairy eggnog for the best flavor.
  • Margarine can be substituted with unsalted butter for a richer taste.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread.
  • Ensure the bread is mostly cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting too much.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
