If a character uses Minor Creation (sorcerer/wizard 4) to create food (fx. a giant loaf of bread), does eating the created foodstuff provide actual nourishment to those who consume it?
Yes, since it's actual stuff. But you will probably find some people who say that when the duration expires the food vanishes from your stomach, leaving you hungry again. Personally I think it becomes effectively permanent once you start digesting it, but I have no RAW to back that up.

Creation: A creation spell manipulates matter to create an object or creature in the place the spellcaster designates. If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, magic holds the creation together, and when the spell ends, the conjured creature or object vanishes without a trace. If the spell has an instantaneous duration, the created object or creature is merely assembled through magic. It lasts indefinitely and does not depend on magic for its existence.
As Fuzzy-Wuzzy says, a RAW reading of the rules suggests that the nourishment you received from eating the food vanishes ('cos it's 'a trace' of the item created). On the other hand you're burning a 4th level spell slot to make bread, so I doubt I'd object to it feeding you if I was GM.
