Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking 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 lightly with ground nutmeg for garnish.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your festive and delicious eggnog bread!
