Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
  • Zest of 1 large orange (divided)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (rinsed and patted dry)
  • 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice (or to reach desired consistency)
  • 1 tsp orange zest (reserved from the orange above)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Butter a 6 cup (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 bread loaf pan) then dust with flour, tapping out the excess flour.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, stir together powdered sugar, orange juice and reserved teaspoon of zest. Stir until smooth. It should have a drizzling consistency. Add more orange juice to thin it out or powdered sugar to make it thicker.
