Ingredients
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons orange juice (adjust for desired consistency)
- Zest of 1/2 orange (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, orange juice, orange zest, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
4. Combine Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
5. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Add more juice as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Optionally, mix in the orange zest for extra flavor.
7. Glaze the Bread:
