Ingredients
  

For the Eggnog Bread:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

For the Crumb Topping:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Extracts: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the eggnog, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.

          Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

            Prepare the Crumb Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients (1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon). Mix with a fork until crumbly.

              Assemble the Loaf: Pour the bread batter into your prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top of the batter.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm, or at room temperature.
