- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp grated orange zest
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries thawed if frozen
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice for syrup
- 1/3 cup sugar for syrup
- 1 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar for glaze
- 2-3 tbsp fresh orange juice for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil until well blended.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Toss the cranberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then fold them gently into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar for the syrup. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Poke holes in the warm bread and brush the orange syrup over it. Let cool completely.
- Whisk together confectioner’s sugar and orange juice for the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bread and let set before slicing.
