Fold in the nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and the freshly ground grains of paradise until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

If you are using nuts, stir in the chopped nuts at this time.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
