Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups eggnog
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, eggnog, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them 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. If the glaze is too thick, add more eggnog 1 teaspoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaves, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish.
Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
