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)
• 0 pinch ground nutmeg (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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.

Step 8

If you'd like to make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and eggnog in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 9

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg, if desired.

Step 10

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.
