Ingredients
For the bread
- 2 cups all purpose flour + more to toss with cranberries
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- cooking spray
For the glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9" x 5" loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and granulated sugar in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
- Add the butter, egg, buttermilk and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of flour. Add the cranberries and orange zest to the batter and gently stir until just mixed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
- Run a thin knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the bread. Let the bread cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a cooling rack. Let cool completely.
- After the bread is cool, make the glaze. Place the powdered sugar and orange juice in a bowl and stir until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the bread.
- Let the glaze set, then slice and serve.
Notes
- When you choose cranberries, look for the berries with the most uniform red color.
- Give the cranberries a light coating of flour before adding them to the batter so that they won't sink to the bottom of the loaf.
- Use a toothpick to check to see if your bread is done.
