Ingredients
For the bread:
- 100 g fresh cranberries
- 1 orange (juice and zest only)
- 70 g butter
- 200 g caster sugar
- 250 g plain flour all purpose
- 1.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 egg
For the orange drizzle:
- 120 g icing sugar
- 2 tablespoon orange juice
- 0.5 orange (zest only)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C(fan)/350°F/Gas 4. Grease a 9x5 inch (22.5 x 12.5 cm) loaf tin.
- In a large bowl, mix together 250 g Plain flour, 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder, 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda, 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon and 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 70 g Butter, 200 g Caster sugar, 1 Eggand the juice and zest of 1 Orange.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
- Gently stir in 100 g Fresh cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the greased tin and cook in the oven for 1 hour, until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes.
- Once cooked, run a knife around the edge of the tin to loosen the loaf and then turn out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
- Make the icing by mixing together 120 g Icing sugar and the zest of 0.5 Orange. Slowly add 2 tablespoon Orange juice until smooth. Don't let the icing get too thin.
- Drizzle over the loaf and allow to set before slicing the loaf.
Notes
- You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. We haven't added any salt to the mix, so using salted butter won't make it overly salty.
- We have used the juice of an orange. However, we have also added the measurement for the liquid, as the juiciness of an orange can vary greatly.
- You can use frozen cranberries in this recipe too, and they don't need to be defrosted first.
- Add the egg already whisked to the bowl. This prevents you from having to over mix the batter.
- Add a little extra texture to this bread by mixing some crushed walnuts or pecans in.
- For a richer flavour, you can use half caster sugar and half brown sugar.
- If the top of your bread starts to get too brown, but it's still not cooked through, then you can loosely put some foil on top.
