Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour (Substitute with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg (Can be replaced with cinnamon if needed.)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground cloves (Can be omitted or substituted with allspice.)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (Can substitute with margarine or coconut oil for a dairy-free version.)
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar (Brown sugar can be used for a deeper flavor.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Consider flax eggs for a vegan option.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Use pure extract for the best results.)
  • 1 cup Eggnog (Feel free to use store-bought or homemade.)

Glaze

  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2–4 tablespoons Eggnog (Adjust for your desired consistency.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to ensure the bread releases easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture and eggnog to the butter mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  8. Prepare and Add Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar with 2 to 4 tablespoons of eggnog until you achieve a smooth and pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread evenly.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this bread gluten-free.
  • For a dairy-free version, use margarine or coconut oil instead of unsalted butter.
  • Brown sugar can replace granulated sugar for a richer flavor profile.
  • Consider using flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg) to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
  • The ground cloves can be omitted if you prefer a milder spice or substituted with allspice.
  • Adjust eggnog quantity in the glaze to get your preferred thickness for drizzling.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
