🧂 Ingredients

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

  optional
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

  ground
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  ground
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves

  ground
• 1 cup unsalted butter

  (2 sticks) at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups eggnog

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper with
  an overhang for easy removal or with nonstick baking spray.
• 2 In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the streusel
  ingredients until they are combined and have a coarsely crumbled texture.
  Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• 3 In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and
  cloves together and set aside.
• 4 In the stand mixer bowl, add the butter, granulated and brown sugars. Mix until
  light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Pour in the vanilla extract and continue to
  beating for 1 more minute.
• 5 Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping the
  sides of the bowl as needed.
• 6 Alternatively, add the dry ingredients and eggnog to the batter at low speed.
  Mix until just incorporated, and scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
• 7 Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle with crumble and
  then carefully spoon the remaining batter over the top and smooth. You can also
  reserve some of the crumble to sprinkle over the top of the loaf cake if
  desired.
• 8 Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the
  center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring
  to a serving platter and dusting with powdered sugar.
