Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or eggnog (adjust to desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until creamy. Add the vegetable oil, eggnog, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to create a rich, moist base.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently just until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and tender.
  4. Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the bread is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the bread cools, mix the powdered sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk or eggnog until smooth and drizzleable. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve the perfect consistency.
  6. Glaze and Serve: When the bread is slightly cooled but still warm, drizzle the glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and rising.
  • Stir batter gently to avoid a dense texture.
  • Check doneness early with a toothpick as oven temperatures vary.
  • Cool the bread slightly before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store wrapped tightly at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
