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, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer for best results.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently stir in eggnog until batter is smooth.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use homemade eggnog. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze it for longer storage.
