Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, stirring until just blended. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread is baking, prepare the orange glaze. In a small bowl, mix together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice until smooth.
- Once the bread is done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- After the bread has cooled completely, drizzle the orange glaze over the top for a delightful finish.
