This is a wonderful treat during the holidays! It just tastes 'Christmasy' and is a must with a cup of coffee or hot tea! I received it from a friend from the Northeast.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 orange, juiced and zested

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1 cup cranberries, quartered

  • 1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened

  • 1 tablespoon orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar.

  3. In a 1-cup (or larger) measuring cup combine juice and zest of the orange, butter and enough boiling water to reach 3/4 cup. Stir into flour mixture. Fold in egg, walnuts and cranberries. Pour batter into prepared pan.

  4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

  5. To make the icing combine confectioners' sugar, butter, orange juice and milk; add more milk if necessary so that the icing is thin and slightly runny. Drizzle over bread; allow icing to set before slicing.
