Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.

Temperature: 350°F
Combine Dry Ingredients
In the large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground nutmeg until evenly distributed.
Time: PT5M

Grease the Loaf Pan
Generously grease the 9×5‑inch loaf pan with butter or non‑stick spray, making sure to coat the sides and bottom.
Time: PT2M
Transfer Batter to Pan
Spoon the thick batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Bake the Loaf
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Time: PT50M
Temperature: 350°F
Butter the Hot Loaf
While the loaf is still hot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it generously over the top of the loaf.

Prepare Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon; stir until evenly mixed.
