Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg (plus a pinch extra for topping)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240 ml) eggnog, room temperature
- 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup (40 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (55 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until combined. Add the eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla; stir until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Make the crumb topping by combining brown sugar and flour. Cut in the cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter and add a pinch of nutmeg on top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for another 20 minutes before slicing.
