Ingredients
- 2 cups flour we use gfJules Flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup butter or vegan butter we used Earth Balance®
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1 egg well beaten
- 2 cups fresh cranberries coarsely chopped (may use frozen berries)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts optional
- 1 Tbs. orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Whisk all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse cornmeal (Jules note: or use paddle attachment on a stand mixer and mix just until butter forms small pebbles throughout).
- In a separate bowl, combine orange juice, orange rind and egg (Jules note: fresh squeezed OJ is amazing, but not required).
- Pour all at once into dry ingredients, mixing just enough to dampen. Carefully fold in the nuts & cranberries.
- Spoon into a lightly oiled or oiled and GF floured 9″ or 10″ loaf pan. Spread corners and sides slightly higher.
- Bake for 1 hour. A knife should come out of the center cleanly. (Jules note: in my oven this loaf baked for 67 minutes; begin checking with a toothpick at 1 hour and remove when toothpick comes out with only crumbs attached and no wet batter.)
- Remove to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
