This recipe delivers a Christmas classic from a recipe my Mom would make every year. The bread freezes well.
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.
