Ingredients
Bread:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon 2% milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries picked over
- ¼ cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
Glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered confectioner's sugar
- 4 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- For the bread, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 8½- by 4½-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, using a hand mixer) set on a medium speed, beat together butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition.
- Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the flour mixture and milk. Beat until just combined.
- Take care not to overbeat or the bread will be tough.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a rubber spatula, stir in the cranberries and chopped crystallized ginger.
- Pour the batter into prepared pan and level with a spatula.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few crumbs attached, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the outside and turn the pan upside down to release the bread. Let cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then glaze.
- For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, and salt until combined. Drizzle over cooled quick bread.
