Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup eggnog
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 to 3 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, eggnog, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Mix powdered sugar with eggnog to make the glaze and drizzle over the cooled bread.
9. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be sure not to overmix the batter—it keeps the bread light and fluffy.
For an extra festive touch, sprinkle a little cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the glaze.
