How to Make the Best Eggnog Bread Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Eggnog Bread: All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, vegetable oil, prepared eggnog, granulated sugar, large eggs, vanilla and rum extract.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A large bowl, medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan (or two smaller loaf pans), a whisk and a cooling rack.
• The primary flavor of this bread is eggnog. You can use you favorite brand purchased at the grocery store or make your own using my Homemade Eggnog recipe.
• Please note: The loaf pan used for this recipe is larger than a classic standard 8 inch loaf pan. You can divide the batter between smaller loaf pans if you don't have one.
• Ground nutmeg and cinnamon adds warmth and depth to the flavor of eggnog. You can change the flavor profile of this bread by adapting the amounts to your personal taste.
• You can also add a citrus twist. For example, you could add orange zest to the batter to expand the flavor. See my Eggnog Poke Cake recipe that uses orange zest in the batter and the filling.
• If you don't have rum extract, you could use brandy extract or additional vanilla in its place.
• This recipe is one that it's not necessary to pull out a mixer, unless you want to. Should you choose to use a mixer keep in mind that the batter shouldn't be over beaten or it can be dry.
• This Eggnog Bread freezes beautifully and will keep frozen for up to 3 months.
• Store Eggnog Bread chilled in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

How Long to Bake Eggnog Bread

Once the dry ingredients have been sifted together and blended evenly with the wet ingredients, pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Place it into a preheated 350°F oven and bake it for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. It's always advisable to test sweet breads, cupcakes, muffins and cakes for doneness before removing them from the oven.
