Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup eggnog
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (optional for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons eggnog (optional for glaze)
- pinch ground nutmeg (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven 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 before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If you'd like to make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg, if desired.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
