Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups regular eggnog
- 2 tsp spiced rum
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (3.4 ounces) package instant french vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
- 2 tsp eggnog
- 2 tbsp spiced rum
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray your loaf or muffin pan with non-stick spray that contains flour to ensure the bread doesn’t stick during baking.
Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs, 1 and 1/2 cups of regular eggnog, 2 teaspoons of spiced rum, 1 cup of white sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of room temperature butter.
Use a paddle attachment to mix everything together until combined; it’s okay if the butter remains clumpy.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together 2 and 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 package (3.4 ounces) of instant French vanilla pudding mix, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
This helps to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 4: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and blend until just incorporated.
Be careful not to overmix; the dough will be thick and it’s normal for the butter to remain clumpy.
Step 5: Bake the Eggnog Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
If you are making mini loaves, bake for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
For a regular loaf pan, it will take about 45-55 minutes.
Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overbake.
Step 6: Prepare the Rum Glaze
While the bread is baking, whisk together 1 cup of sifted confectioners’ sugar, 2 teaspoons of eggnog, 2 tablespoons of spiced rum, and 1/8 teaspoon of ground nutmeg until smooth.
This will create a luscious glaze for the bread.
Step 7: Glaze and Serve
Once the eggnog bread has cooled, pour the rum glaze over the top.
Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Enjoy your festive and delicious eggnog bread!
