I use one cup of eggnog for the cake and another couple tablespoons for the glaze.

Add butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

Add eggs, vanilla, and eggnog to the batter. 

Mix until combined.

Add dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg to a seperate bowl and stir.

Now slowly pour in the dry ingredients to the batter until combined.

Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Mix together powdered sugar and 2 tbsp eggnog to make a glaze. 

Once the cake is completely cooled on a rack, drizzle the glaze on top then sprinkle with remaining nutmeg. 

Once the glaze is set, slice and serve.
