  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in cranberries, pecans, and zest. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar, butter, and egg together in another large bowl until smooth. Stir in orange juice.
  • Beat in flour mixture until just moist. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bread springs back when lightly touched, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes; turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To make a delicious sweet glaze for this cake, whisk 1 cup confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons of orange juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and let it set before slicing.
