  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Eggnog
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar

Equipment

  • Electric Mixer (handheld or stand)
  • Wooden Skewer
  • Whisk

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with eggnog, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While bread is cooling, whisk together powdered sugar and enough eggnog to create a smooth, pourable glaze. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more if needed.
  9. Once bread is completely cool, pour glaze over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade eggnog. You can also add chopped nuts or dried cranberries to the batter for extra texture and flavor. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
