Ingredients
Eggnog Quick Bread:
4 large eggs, beaten
2 cups white sugar
2½ cups eggnog
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
6½ teaspoons melted coconut oil
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sour cream
½ cup powdered sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Rum Infused Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ tablespoons eggnog
½ teaspoon dark rum
1 teaspoon corn syrup
Instructions
Make the Bread:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two 9-inch loaf pans with parchment paper or grease well.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
In a stand mixer, cream together melted butter, coconut oil, and sugar. Add in eggs, eggnog, dark rum, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at 45 minutes.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, vanilla, eggnog, rum, and corn syrup. Stir until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over cooled loaves before serving.
Notes
Baking time may vary depending on your oven and pan type.
For a stronger rum flavor, increase the glaze rum slightly or brush a little over the bread before glazing.
Bread can be made ahead and frozen (without glaze). Glaze once thawed.
