CRANBERRY ORANGE LOAF WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease a standard 9 x 5 inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf tin with butter, line it with parchment paper, and set it aside.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and the zest from one orange.
• Add the softened butter to the flour mixture and continue to whisk the mixture until the butter breaks into small coarse crumbs, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the juice of one orange to a measuring cup and top it with warm water to the ¾ cup (175 ml) line.
• Crack in the egg and whisk everything together to combine.
• Pour the egg mixture into the bowl of flour and fold everything together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until no dry bits of flour remain. Fold in the cranberries until well combined.
• Spoon the cranberry batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth out the top with a butter knife or offset spatula.
• Place the loaf in the oven and bake it for 45 minutes.
• Remove the loaf from the oven, tent it loosely with aluminum foil, and return it to the oven for 15 minutes more.
• Cool the loaf in the tin on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then lift it out, remove the parchment paper, and let it cool completely.
• To make the orange glaze mix together the powdered sugar and zest from the second orange.
• Add orange juice by the ½ tsp to your desired thickness, then spoon the glaze over the cooled loaf.

CRANBERRY ORANGE LOAF WITH ORANGE GLAZE (EGGLESS)

Steps:

• Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil or oil spray. Line it with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350° F/ 180° C.
• Add 1 cup cranberries in a bowl (reserve some for topping the batter). Coat cranberries with 1/2 teaspoon of all-purpose flour. Set aside.
• Sift all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk well and set aside. Sift 2-3 times for a lighter and airy cake.
• In another mixing bowl, add yogurt and castor sugar. Whisk until well blended.
• Add oil, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange zest.
• Whisk until everything is well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined and no more flour pockets are visible.
• Do not over mix, or you will end up with a pretty dense cake. A few lumps are okay in the batter.
• Add the coated cranberries to the batter and fold gently.
• Transfer the batter to a prepared pan. Smooth the surface using a spatula.
• Tap the pan to remove air bubbles. Top the batter with reserved cranberries.
• Bake at 350° F/ 180° C for about 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Loosen the edges with a butter knife. Then transfer to a wire rack and let it cool down completely.
• In a mixing bowl, sift 1 cup icing sugar, add 1 tablespoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 teaspoon orange zest. Whisk well until you have a smooth and pourable consistency. I added a little over 2 tablespoons of orange juice to adjust the consistency.
• If it is too runny, add more icing sugar. If it is too thick, thin it out with a few teaspoons of orange juice.
