Ingredients

For the bread:
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 3 oranges zested
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ cups vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce 14 ounce
For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the bread, spray two loaf pans with baking spray. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar. Beat in eggs until fully combined. Add orange extract and zest from 3 oranges. Beat in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and greek yogurt.
  3. Spoon about 1 1/4 cup of batter into the bottom of each loaf pan. Then spoon a large scoop of cranberry sauce onto batter, swirling it into the batter. Top with more batter, then another scoop of cranberry sauce. Finish with batter.
  4. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes. Remove and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from pan and cool completely before applying glaze.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and orange extract until smooth.
  7. Spoon over cooled bread. Allow to set (about 15 minutes). Wrap and store in refrigerator (or airtight container at room temperature) for up to 5 days.
  8. ENJOY.

Notes

  • Make sure to line your loaf pans with parchment paper and baking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Let the glazed loaves set for about 15 minutes before slicing. This gives the glaze a chance to harden to the perfect (less messy!) consistency.
  • Store your cranberry orange bread in the refrigerator or at room temperature. It keeps slightly longer in the fridge and I love the way it tastes cold!
