Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter
¾ cup orange juice
1 egg, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 ½ cups cranberries
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Sift flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Mash butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Stir orange juice, egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest together in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened and batter-like. Fold cranberries and walnuts through the batter; spoon into the prepared loaf pan, spreading so the corners and sides are slightly higher than the center.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter and tarter flavor than frozen or dried cranberries. If you are using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Chop the nuts finely: Finely chopped nuts will distribute more evenly throughout the bread and provide a more consistent texture.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Do not overbake the bread: Overbaked bread will be dry and crumbly. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: Slicing the bread while it is still warm can cause it to crumble.
