Time 2h45m

Yield 1 regular loaf or 3 mini loaves

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, plus more, for the pan
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest, optional
1 cup shredded pears, excess moisture squeezed out
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
1 vanilla bean, split and seeds scraped out

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the cranberries and walnuts and toss together. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded pears. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla bean seeds in a small bowl.
  • Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality vanilla extract: The quality of your vanilla extract will significantly impact the flavor of your glaze. Look for pure vanilla extract, which is made with real vanilla beans, rather than imitation vanilla extract, which is made with artificial flavors.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature: This will help it cream together with the sugar and vanilla extract smoothly. If your butter is too cold, it will be difficult to mix and may cause the glaze to curdle.
  • Add the glaze to your cakes, cookies, or pastries while they are still warm: This will help the glaze to set and prevent it from running off.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar: Start with the amount of powdered sugar specified in the recipe, and then add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency.
  • If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk or cream: Start with the amount of milk or cream specified in the recipe, and then add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Get creative with your flavors: You can add other extracts, such as almond extract or lemon extract, to your glaze to create different flavor combinations. You can also add spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to give your glaze a warm and cozy flavor.

Conclusion:

Vanilla glaze is a versatile and delicious way to add flavor and shine to your cakes, cookies, and pastries. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can create a glaze that will make your desserts look and taste amazing.
