Welcome to another Food Fight! Fantastical Food Fight is a group of food bloggers who will get a theme or ingredient each month and make some sort of variation for it. It could be traditional or nontraditional and can be found in a cookbook, on a blog, or be a blogger's own creation! For more details, check out this page.
This month's Fantastical Food Fight theme is very fitting: EGGNOG. Normally, I would shy away from this but since it's an event I host, I want to step outside of my comfort zone a little and also pick ingredients or dishes that everyone wants to use/make because it isn't just about me. Much like how I fix foods for Nick and the kids that I don't like, I will do the same for Food Fight. Plus, I may end up with a new favorite. I never liked alfredo sauce, Philly cheesesteak, chicken parmesan, or pot pie until I made it at home.
I have actually made this eggnog bread before, way back in late 2016. I wasn't honestly making it for me to eat. Just for the eggnog lovers in the house who outnumber me. I did try it and was surprised at the flavor. I guess I don't mind eggnog flavor as long as it doesn't have too much rum or nutmeg to it. Really one of my biggest problems with eggnog is how thick it is. So this bread has none of that. It isn't too heavy on rum or nutmeg and it doesn't contain any thick liquidness of eggnog. So it's a winner. Even I, as an eggnog hater, enjoyed this bread. Also if I'm being honest...I would classify this as a cake. It's definitely a very cake-y bread and just wonderful!
