Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream Butter & Sugar
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and orange zest.

  4. Combine Wet & Dry
    Alternate adding the flour mixture and orange juice (or milk) to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. Fold in Cranberries
    Gently fold in cranberries and nuts, if using.

  6. Bake
    Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. Cool & Slice
    Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
