Cranberry Orange Bread
Description
This Cranberry Orange Bread recipe uses a mix of granulated sugar, buttermilk, sour cream, orange zest, neutral oil, egg, and vanilla extract for the wet ingredients, combined with flour, baking powder, salt, and coated cranberries in cornstarch to prevent sinking. The batter is poured into a greased and parchment-lined loaf pan.
The loaf bakes at 350°F for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness. The texture is moist and soft, with bursts of tart cranberry and bright orange flavor throughout. After cooling, the bread is topped with a smooth glaze made from powdered sugar, orange juice, zest, and vanilla to add a sweet citrus finish.
This bread offers a gently sweet and tangy profile, ideal for morning meals, afternoon tea, or casual gatherings.
