Ingredients

FOR THE BREAD

  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp rum extract
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 1/4 cup fresh cranberries whole, chopped, or cut in half

EGGNOG ICING

  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1 1/4 cup icing sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a loaf baking pan with non-stick baking spray
  • Add the instant pudding mix, sugar and butter into a bowl and cream together using a wooden spoon or a spatula
  • Add the eggs, both extracts and cream again. Then add the eggnog and stir.
  • In another bowl, add together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg. Then add the dry mixture to the batter mixture until combined.
  • Fold in the cranberries and fill the baking pan.
  • Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick or knife comes out clean from the centre.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan before taking it out of the pan
  • TO GLAZE: mix the eggnog and icing sugar together in a bowl. Add more or less icing sugar depending on how thick you want the icing.
  • Pour over the loaf or poke holes in the bread to allow some of the icing to seep in.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • The cranberries can be left whole, sliced in half or chopped based on preference.
  • Use this batter to make muffins or mini-loafs. Yet, adjust bake time to suit.
  • Store this completely cooled bread at room temperature and tightly sealed. It'll keep for 3-4 days. It does not need to be refrigerated.
