3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract to the wet mixture.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
6. Add Extras: If desired, fold in chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
7. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
