Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 100 g Fresh cranberries
  • 1 Orange ((juice and zest only))
  • 70 g Butter
  • 200 g Caster sugar
  • 250 g Plain flour (all purpose)
  • 1.5 tsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1 Egg
  • 120 g Icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp Orange juice (added gradually, don't let it get too thin.)
  • 0.5 Orange ((zest only))

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the butter, caster sugar, egg, orange juice and zest.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Gently stir in the cranberries.
  • Grease a 9x5 inch (22.5 x 12.5 cm) loaf tin.
  • Pour the batter into the tin and cook in the oven for 1 hour, until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool in the tin for at least 20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, run a knife around the edge of the tin to loosen the loaf and then turn out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely.
  • Make the icing by mixing together the icing sugar, orange juice and zest until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the loaf and allow to set before slicing the loaf.
