First let me say this tasted pretty good. I followed the suggestion of others by increasing the eggnog to 1 1/3 c but didn't change anything else. It wasn't very sweet and it was very moist and dense. I think that may have been what confused me most. It had the same density and moistness of a pound cake but it wasn't sweet like one. I think I'll try to morph this into more of a pound cake but I do want to add my husband doesn't like stuff that is too sweet and he devoured this (which he never does).

I had high hopes for this one, but was a bit disappointed. It was almost too rich to eat; more of it wasn't eaten than was. I would recommend planning to eat the entire loaf the day you make it, as leftovers don't age well.

I LOVED this bread! The rest of the family thought it was just ok that is why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5+. I used 1/4 c coconut rum, extra nutmeg, vanilla and 1&1/3 c eggnog. Increased baking time because of the extra liquid. Will make again and it will be ALL MINE!

I took the advice from other reviewers and added a small package of vanilla pudding, increased the egg nog to 1 1/3 cup, and used 2 T. of real rum. The bread was delicous. It has more of a pound cake consistency than a bread. I'll be making this every Christmas from now on.

Just "OK" for our family - husband liked it well enough but I found that I pitched the last third of the loaf. Maybe we're not big eggnog fans? Won't make it again - too many other better quick bread recipes out there.

Made this just before Christmas and got some mixed reviews. Those that love eggnog in my famly devoured it; others complained that it was too heavy. I think if you're an eggnog fan you'll enjoy it.

This bread was a big hit at a holiday party. Based on the other reviews, I added an extra 1/4 cup of eggnog and 2tbs of oil to combat the dryness. I also used cinnamon flavored eggnog. Great recipe!
