3. 3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
4. 4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
5. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
6. 6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. 7. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a more decadent treat, top the cooled bread with a cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar. The bread also freezes well, making it a great make-ahead option.
