- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk eggs, eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a rubber spatula just until fully combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is or dust with powdered sugar for a festive touch.
