Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 cups eggnog
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Optionally, line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, large eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon and brown sugar to create the cinnamon swirl.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Add the remaining batter on top and gently spread it out. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture over the top.
With a thin knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect, being careful not to overdo it.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness at the 50-minute mark.
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 before slicing.
Enjoy your Eggnog Cinnamon Swirl Bread as is or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top!
