Description
A sweet, moist quick bread featuring a rich eggnog flavor and a distinct cinnamon swirl.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup eggnog
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (for swirl)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the eggnog, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
- For the swirl, mix the brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a small bowl until crumbly.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
- Use a knife to gently swirl the mixture through the batter a few times.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute store-bought eggnog for homemade.
- For a glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of eggnog and drizzle over the cooled bread.
