Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-3/4 cup Flour; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/4 cups Butter, Softened; 1/2 cups Sugar; 2 Large Eggs; 3 Tablespoons Orange Juice, Fresh Squeezed; 1/2 teaspoons Orange Zest; 1/2 cups Milk; 1 cup Fresh Cranberries (or Frozen, Or Craisins); 1 Tablespoon Flour, Only If Using Dried Cranberries Or Craisins; 3/4 cups Powdered Sugar; 2 Tablespoons Orange Juice, Fresh Squeezed

Servings: persons

1-3/4 cup Flour
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 cups Butter, Softened
1/2 cups Sugar
2 Large Eggs
3 Tablespoons Orange Juice, Fresh Squeezed
1/2 teaspoons Orange Zest
1/2 cups Milk
1 cup Fresh Cranberries (or Frozen, Or Craisins)
1 Tablespoon Flour, Only If Using Dried Cranberries Or Craisins
3/4 cups Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Orange Juice, Fresh Squeezed

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a loaf pan (I used PAM to spray it).
2
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
3
Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes in a stand mixer on medium). Add in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Next, add 3 Tablespoons of orange juice and the zest and mix to combine.
4
Add flour mixture and milk alternately into the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the flour, mixing until just combined after each addition. Fold in cranberries. *If using Craisins (dried cranberries), coat them with about 1 Tablespoon of flour to make sure they don't all sink to the bottom of the batter while it bakes.*
5
Pour batter into pan and bake for 40-60 minutes until top is lightly browned and a toothpick comes out clean.
6
While it bakes, prepare the glaze: Stir together powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of orange juice until combined.
7
Once the bread is done, let it cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Remove from pan and transfer to cooling rack with a sheet pan underneath. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the bread.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
