For a richer flavor, use homemade eggnog. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking. A sprinkle of chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, can be added to the batter for extra texture. This bread is best served the day after baking, as the flavors will have had time to meld. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise. If you don't have rum extract, a tablespoon of dark rum can be substituted. Softening the butter is important to create a well combined batter.
