Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs, large
• 0.75 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
• 1 tablespoon brewed coffee (for optional glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the cooled brewed coffee and milk.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the coffee-milk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Fold in the chopped nuts using a spatula.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

If desired, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and brewed coffee until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled loaf.

Step 13

Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
