Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
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.

Cook’s Note:

When doubling recipe, use 3 eggs instead of just 2.
