Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl, combine milk, orange juice, melted butter, zest and eggs.
  • Stir to combine well. Add dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
  • Gently stir in cranberries and mix just until they are evenly distributed.
  • Pour batter (it will be thick) into pan and bake until a knife comes clean from the center, 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on size of pan.
  • Loosen sides from pan, remove and let cool completely.
  • When cool, prepare glaze, if using. In a small bowl, combine orange juice with powdered sugar, adding a little more juice if necessary to obtain a smooth consistency.
  • Drizzle over top of loaf.
