Ingredients
- 1 large orange
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins®)
- 2/3 cup chopped pecans
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust the bottom with flour.
Step 2
Zest the entire orange, avoiding the white (pith). Peel and section the orange and remove all seeds. Chop orange pulp in the bowl of a food processor or blender until fine. Reserve with the zest.
Step 3
Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in pumpkin, reserved chopped orange and zest, orange juice, and grated ginger.
Step 4
Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into the wet batter until almost all is moistened, but do not overwork. Fold in dried cranberries and pecans. Turn into the prepared loaf pan.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan, on a wire rack, for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the wire rack before wrapping.
Cook’s Notes:
This can also be made into 18 standard-sized muffins.
