Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup eggnog
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons rum extract (optional)
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 2 tablespoons eggnog (for optional glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the eggnog, vanilla extract, and rum extract (if using) until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

For the optional glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread and sprinkle with ground nutmeg for garnish.

Step 10

Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
