I've made this tender, moist bread for Christmas for the last 20 years. Mini loaves, baked in smaller pans, are great gifts. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup sugar |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 eggs |
1-1/4 cups eggnog |
6 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup chopped red candied cherries |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and nutmeg. In a small bowl, beat the eggs, eggnog, butter and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pecans and cherries.
2. Transfer to a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
