Christmas Cranberry Orange Loaf Recipes

CHRISTMAS CRANBERRY-PERSIMMON LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and dust the bottom with flour.
• Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Add walnuts and cranberries; toss or mix using your fingers to ensure cranberries don't stick together.
• Whisk eggs, brown sugar, and oil together in a medium bowl until eggs are well beaten. Stir in persimmon pieces followed by flour mixture. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Slide a knife around the sides and slide loaf out onto the rack to finish cooling, 15 to 30 minutes more, before cutting.

ORANGE CRANBERRY LOAF RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease the bottom of 8 inch loaf pan and add a piece of parchment, enough so that it sticks out over the sides of the pan. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In another bowl, combine yogurt, eggs, sugar, orange zest, olive oil, orange juice and vanilla sugar. Add in the 1 cup of cranberries, combine, pour batter into the pan. Add the extra cranberries on top of loaf. Bake for about 1 hour, or until browned on top and cooked through. Make the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and orange juice. Drizzle over the warm cake. *Make sure when you buy yogurt its plain yogurt made with only simple ingredients, like cream, milk and bacterial cultures, anything else is not real yogurt. Homemade is best but not always an option. Tip: Try rolling the cranberries in flour before putting them in the mix. It's supposed to work with blueberries too.
