Eggnog is a Christmas drink that can also be an ingredient. This Eggnog Loaf is soft, velvety, loaded with creamy and warm spices, and topped with a creamy and delicious eggnog glaze.
Preheat the oven to 350°F, grease a 9X5 loaf pan with butter, and flour dust. Set it aside.
Sift all the dry ingredients, and set aside.
2 cups All-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg, ½ teaspoon Baking soda
In a separate bowl whisk the eggnog, sugar, oil, rum, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
1 cup Eggnog, 1 cup Granulated sugar, ¾ cup Oil, 2 tablespoon Rum, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
Add the egg and whisk vigorously.
1 Egg
Add the dry ingredients in two batches and mix gently. If the mixture looks lumpy, use a hand mixer to mix the batter for 10-15 seconds until it is all smooth.
Fold in the pecans, and pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes. The loaf is ready when the top is golden and cracked, and a toothpick comes out clean.
½ cup Pecans
