Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries halved
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Method
 

Prepare the Loaf
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter. Add the eggs, milk, and orange zest, mixing until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the cranberries.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Glaze
  1. While the loaf is baking, combine the powdered sugar and orange juice in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
  2. Once the loaf has cooled for 10 minutes, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  3. Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.
