CRANBERRY-ORANGE QUICK BREAD



Cranberry-Orange Quick Bread image

This is my husband's very favorite quick bread I make, a great holiday gift, and is my most-requested at parties, especially around the holidays. It originally came from the Betty Crocker Cookbook, but I usually omit the nuts (although I love pecans with the cranberries) and have added a glaze onto it, which really seemed to give it that extra little zing. When I serve it for parties or brunches, I slice it, then cut the slices in half top to bottom; people seem satified with the smaller pieces (though they often go back for more!) and it serves more that way. I always try to keep a bag of cranberries in the freezer for just this recipe.

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/4 cups orange juice

2 cups fresh cranberries
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 -3 tablespoons milk
Sugared Cranberries for cake, (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Cake:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or grease a Bundt cake pan well; set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse together 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • Combine orange juice and grated rind with well beaten eggs. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Dust the halved cranberries with remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. Carefully fold halved cranberries into batter. Spoon the batter into prepared Bundt pan.

  • Cool bread in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing to cool.
  • Glaze:.
  • Add confectioner's sugar to a small mixing bowl. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until glaze is spreadable, but not runny. Spread generously over warm cake allow glaze to run down the sides of the bread.
  • Cool bread completely before slicing and serving.
  • Serve with sugared cranberries, optional.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries and oranges for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
