Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer if desired.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the eggnog, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bread is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and eggnog until smooth. Add more eggnog, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade eggnog. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
