Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
- 0.5 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons White chocolate, melted
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, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and white chocolate chips using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and melted white chocolate in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cranberry bread, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the icing set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
