Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Eggnog
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the cup of eggnog (beginning and ending with the dry ingredients). Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of eggnog in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with ground nutmeg for garnish.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your festive Christmas Eggnog Bread!
