Description
A moist, nutmeg-spiced holiday quick bread made with real eggnog and a splash of dark rum, finished with a sweet rum and eggnog glaze.
Ingredients
For the bread: 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 cup eggnog
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the rum glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 to 2 tablespoons eggnog
Pinch of ground nutmeg, for sprinkling
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, eggs, eggnog, rum, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Whisk the powdered sugar, rum, and 1 tablespoon of eggnog into a thick but pourable glaze, adding more eggnog if needed.
9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and sprinkle with a pinch of nutmeg. Let the glaze set before slicing.
Notes
Based on the common eggnog quick bread method with a powdered sugar, rum, and eggnog glaze. Flour, sugar, oil, and glaze amounts were developed for Poulef, and the oven temperature was not confirmed from the source. Test the first loaf.
For a nonalcoholic version, replace the rum with extra eggnog in both the batter and the glaze.
Leftovers keep for about 5 days.
