Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest
  • 1 cup (100g) fresh cranberries
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, vegetable oil, and orange zest until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw and pat them dry before adding.
  6. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Optional: Mix powdered sugar with orange juice to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled bread.

Notes

[‘Toss cranberries in flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs and milk for a smoother batter.’, ‘Adjust glaze thickness by adding more powdered sugar or orange juice.’]
