CRANBERRY ORANGE BREAD image

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened, plus more for buttering pan $
1 1/2 cups sugar $
4 eggs $
1 cup orange juice $
1 cup sour cream $
2 tablespoons freshly grated orange zest $
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour $
1 tablespoon baking powder $
1/2 teaspoon salt $
1 1/2 cups dried cranberries $
2 cups powdered sugar
7 to 8 tbsp. Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur

Steps:

  • Preparation 1. Preheat oven to 330°. Butter two 6-cup-capacity loaf pans (or, if making the mini loaves, butter six 2-cup-capacity pans). 2. With an electric or standing mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add orange juice, sour cream, orange zest, and vanilla; mix until blended. 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture and cranberries to wet ingredients and mix just until dry ingredients are absorbed; do not overmix. 4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers of breads comes out clean, 70 to 75 minutes for large loaves and 60 minutes for mini loaves. 5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and 7 tbsp. Grand Marnier. Glaze should have consistency of thick maple syrup or corn syrup. If it is too thick, thin with an additional tbsp. of liqueur. 6. Let loaves cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a cooling rack set over a large baking sheet. With a thin skewer or long toothpick, poke deep holes in tops of loaves. Drizzle with Grand Marnier glaze so that it coats the top, runs down the sides, and seeps through the holes. 7. Let loaves cool completely, then slice and serve, or wrap and freeze (see Notes). Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving. Note: Loaves can be made up to 1 month ahead and frozen. Bake and glaze loaves and allow them to cool completely. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap, put in zip-lock plastic bags, and freeze. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and defrost at room temperature.

I decided to try making this bread with sourdough starter instead of commercial yeast. It turned out great! The sourdough gave the bread a slightly tangy flavor that complemented the cranberries and oranges perfectly.

I served this bread with a dollop of whipped cream cheese and it was heavenly! The cream cheese added a creamy, tangy flavor that complemented the bread beautifully.

I drizzled some melted dark chocolate over the glaze before the bread had completely cooled. The chocolate added a rich, decadent flavor that balanced out the sweetness of the bread perfectly.
