ReplyDeleteCould you double the rum? lol- I'm 40...something...and just discovered last year that I absolutely love egg nog. Spiked of course. It took a long time to get over the whole "egg" in the nog...but it's pretty delish. Like bourbon infused sweetened condensed milk :-) I'm so making this.
ReplyDeleteI don't think doubling the rum would be a bad idea! I need to try eggnog - I'm sure it is all about finding the right one!
DeleteLooks great!!! What size loaf pan did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used a 1 lb loaf pan - 8 1/2 x 4 1/2
