Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour Spoon it into your measuring cup to avoid packing.
  • 1 tbsp baking powder Check the date if opened for a long time.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Balances sweetness.
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg Classic eggnog flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon Optional, complements the nutmeg.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup eggnog Use regular dairy kind for best results.
  • 2 large eggs Helps with structure and texture.
  • 1/2 cup sugar Eggnog already contains sugar.
  • 1/3 cup oil or melted butter Oil keeps it moist; butter adds flavor.
  • 1 tsp vanilla Enhances flavor.
Optional Add-ins

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan, using parchment if desired.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together to evenly distribute the baking powder and spices.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together until smooth, then stir in the sugar.
  4. Combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring just until no dry flour is visible. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be refrigerated or frozen for longer storage. For an added treat, consider a simple glaze after the loaf cools.
