Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups eggnog
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons eggnog (for glaze)
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8x4-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the eggs, eggnog, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaves comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of eggnog in a small bowl until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more eggnog 1 teaspoon at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

Step 9

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaves, letting it drip down the sides. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground nutmeg for garnish.

Step 10

Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
