  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, if necessary)
– 1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 orange)
– ¾ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
– ½ cup plain yogurt or sour cream
– ¼ cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
– 2 tablespoons orange juice (for glaze)


Instructions

Creating the perfect Cranberry Orange Bread with Glaze can be simple if you follow these carefully crafted steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add Cranberries and Zest: Gently fold in the fresh cranberries and orange zest, ensuring they are well-coated with the flour mixture.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the orange juice, yogurt or sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Prepare Glaze: While the bread cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth.
10. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.

These steps will guide you through the process of creating this incredible Cranberry Orange Bread with Glaze effortlessly.
