Equipment

  • - Loaf pan (9x5 inch)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • - Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • **For the Eggnog Bread:**
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • **For the Glaze:**
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp eggnog
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • **Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • **Prepare the Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • **Make the Batter:** In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the eggnog and vanilla extract.
  • **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • **Bake the Bread:** Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • **Prepare the Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • **Glaze the Bread:** Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf, allowing it to gently cascade down the sides.
  • **Serve:** Slice the bread and serve.
