Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan or spray with baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, whisk together milk, oil, orange zest and juice, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in the cranberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Carefully remove and let cool completely on the wire rack.
For the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together sugar, orange juice, and vanilla until smooth and desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled bread. Garnish with orange zest before slicing, if desired.
Notes
- Don’t use an electric mixer, or you could over-mix the batter, resulting in a dense loaf or large holes in the crumb. Just use a spatula and mix until everything is just combined.
- It is much easier to zest the orange before juicing.
- Bring your eggs and milk to room temperature so they incorporate fully into the batter.
- Measure your flour correctly! Adding too much flour will lead to the cranberry bread ending up dense. The best and easiest way to measure flour is by using a scale. If you don’t have one, then fluff your flour with a spoon, sprinkle it into your measuring cup, and use a knife to level it off.
- For a smooth glaze, sift the powdered sugar before whisking it together.
- If the top of the loaf is browning too quickly, cover the pan with some tin foil.
- To get more juice out of an orange, roll it under your palm on the countertop to loosen the juices.
