Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup milk (room temperature)
• Zest of 1 large orange (divided)
• 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (rinsed and patted dry)
• 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice (or to reach desired consistency)
• 1 tsp orange zest (reserved from the orange above)

Instruction:

1. Toss cranberries with 1/2 Tbsp flour then fold them into the batter just until incorporated. Spread the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 45-50 min at 350˚F until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 10-15 minutes then run a cake release tool or knife around the edges and transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together powdered sugar, orange juice and reserved teaspoon of zest. Stir until smooth. It should have a drizzling consistency. Add more orange juice to thin it out or powdered sugar to make it thicker.
