Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. In a small bowl, melt the butter for the coating. Combine it with sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to form a paste.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the spiced sugar mixture over the batter and gently push it down.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
