  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, orange juice, vegetable oil, and orange zest.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the chopped cranberries gently.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve the cranberry orange bread once cooled.
