GLAZED EGGNOG BREAD
www.RecipeGirl.com
LOAF:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup eggnog (low fat is fine)
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla (or eggnog extract, if you have it)
1/2 tsp rum extract, optional
EGGNOG ICING
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Dash freshly grated nutmeg
2 to 3 tsp eggnog
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, eggnog, melted butter, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened (batter will be lumpy).
4. Spoon batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf — it should come out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack.
5. Prepare icing: Combine sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Stir in enough eggnog to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle cooled loaf with icing. Grate a little bit of fresh nutmeg over the icing, then let icing set completely before wrapping loaf.

This is a fantastic looking bread. Love anything with eggnog so this should be a hit.
Thanks for the recipe.

This Eggnog Bread is amazing; used Silk Nog in both the batter and icing! The full recipe made (11) 3-4 inch cakes with a Wilton pan from last year. Covered each of the Gingerbread Men and Trees completely with the glaze and sprinkled with white edible glitter — thanks for a great recipe Lori!
