Glazed Cranberry Orange Bread

By

This sweet cranberry orange bread is one of my tried and true favorites. The glaze sends it over the top in deliciousness. It is a moist, sweet bread with little bursts of tart cranberries, and I am asked for the recipe any time I take it anywhere.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for an even easier release.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in orange zest and cranberries. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in orange juice. Beat in flour mixture until just moistened. Pour into prepared pan.

While bread is baking, mix together your powdered sugar and orange juice glaze. It should be thick, like a frosting.

Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the bread springs back when lightly touched. I check it at around 40 minutes and sometimes put foil over the top to keep it from burning.

Let stand 10 minutes, then spread glaze over warm bread. Cool before cutting.
