Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Spiced rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, spiced rum, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Fold in the orange zest and chopped cranberries using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Cranberry Loaf with a Hiccup! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
