Bread Instructions

  • Start your eggnog bread recipe by preheating your oven to 350° F. Then grease or spray a loaf pan with a nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. And set it aside also.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the white sugar and the butter. Beat for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Then add half of the flour mixture, beat to incorporate fully.
  • Add the eggnog and rum or rum extract and beat fully then add the remaining flour mixture. Then beat the mixture until just combined and no dry patches remain.
  • Pour or scoop about half of the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  • In the last small bowl combine the cinnamon swirl ingredients very well
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture over the batter and use a spoon or knife to press down about 1″ to 2″ into the batter.
  • And top with the remaining batter and spread evenly. Place the eggnog bread in your preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. But if the top is starting to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil
  • Remove from oven when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Turn upside down on a wire rack and remove the pan. Flip the bread over and allow it to cool completely before adding the rum glaze for cake.

Rum Glaze Instructions:

  • Make the rum glaze by combining the powdered icing sugar, nutmeg and 1 Tablespoon of eggnog and the rum extract or rum whichever you are using. Add additional eggnog as needed to get a good consistency.
  • Drizzle the rum glaze over the cooled bread and then press on silvered almonds. And allow the glaze to set before serving or storing.
