- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- orange zest of two medium
- 6 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 large egg

- ⅔ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup buttermilk
- 2 cups cranberries fresh
For the Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, mix the sugars and orange zest until the sugar is fragrant and the orange zest is thoroughly incorporated. Add in butter and mix until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat to combine. Add in orange juice mix until incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in buttermilk. Do not overmix. Fold in cranberries.Spoon batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Allow bread to cool in pan for 20-30 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once bread is cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice and orange extract. Drizzle over bread and allow it to harden before serving. If glaze is too thick, gradually add a few drops of orange juice at a time to achieve the desired consistency.
Notes

- Use parchment as shown in the photos and liberally spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- I used Simply Orange Juice.
- Allow the bread to completely cool before glazing. Allow the glaze to harden before cutting with a serrated bread knife.
