Rum ratio for baking question... (substitute, bottle, flavor, use)

[leftmyheartintennessee]

Okay, so I'm making eggnog quick bread...the recipe calls for rum extract
but after reading the ingredients on the extract bottle I have decided to use the real stuff...I can only find artificial flavor extract.

My question: what's the ratio of real to extract...

recipe calls for 2 teaspoons of extract...can somebody help with this...

Thank you guys, I know someone has the answer...

Use the same amount, as you dont want to increase or decrease the liquid.

Exactly what she said^^^^^

The flavor won't be the same BTW.

However if you want it stronger you could always substitute a little more rum for a little of another liquid in the bread.

The artificial flavor extract works just fine.

generally, the darker the rum, the stronger the flavor. Using spiced rum would be really good in an eggnog bread............

Thanks for the help everyone...bought the rum yesterday but never crossed my mind to
get one of the spiced ones...DUH...Next time
only reason I didn't go with the extract is cause I didn't want artificial ingedients like polyethylene glycol etc... doesn't sound tasty to me...
Thanks again everyone...
