Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Eggnog
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, eggnog, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more eggnog if needed.

Step 10

Once the bread has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set before slicing and serving.
