Calories: 205kcal
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup eggnog
- ¼ cup bourbon
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup pecans rough chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the raisins and bourbon. Set aside for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the eggs, sugar and butter. Beat until well blended. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture alternately with the eggnog mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Fold in the raisins, bourbon and pecans.
- Pour into a lightly greased 8x4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 65-70 minutes checking after 50 minutes. Cover with foil if the bread begins to brown too quickly. Check by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean the bread is done.
- Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack and store in an airtight container.
