Easy Eggnog Loaf
Ingredients
Bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog {regular, not low fat}
- 2 tsp rum
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 box 3.4 oz. instant French Vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp rum
- 1 tsp eggnog
- dash nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9" x 5" loaf pan with a butter and flour baking spray
- Combine butter with eggs, vanilla, eggnog, sugar and rum in a mixing bowl and mix to combine. The butter will be lumpy but that's fine
- In another bowl, mix flour, pudding mix, salt, nutmeg, and baking powder
- Combine dry ingredients with the egg/butter mix, stirring to just combine. Do not overmix. Batter will be thick and lumpy.
- Turn batter out into prepared loaf pan
- Bake for 45-55 minutes or until tester comes out clean
- Let loaf cool before removing from pan
Glaze
- Combine powdered sugar with eggnog, rum, and nutmeg. If glaze is too thick add a little more rum or eggnog until is the desired consistency. {Add more sugar if too thin}
- Poke bread all over with a long toothpick or skewer. Slowly pour glaze over loaf letting the glaze seep down into the holes and over the sides.
- Cut into 1 inch slices to serve
Enjoy!
