🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Begin by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). 
2. Grease the bottom of a 5x9-inch loaf pan to prepare it for the batter.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then mix in the sugar, melted butter, eggnog, rum extract, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined and smooth.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined, ensuring not to overmix.
6. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

9. Once cooled, wrap the bread in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
