Follow these steps below to prepare a delicious cranberry orange loaf:
1. Start
from preheating the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then, grease and
flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan. Next, proceed to whisk together flour, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in orange zest, cranberries, and pecans.
Set aside.
2. For this step you will need a big bowl in which you have to cream together margarine,
sugar, and egg until they are smooth. Stir in orange juice. Beat in flour
mixture until just moistened. Pour into prepared pan.
3. In the final step, bake everything for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or
until the bread springs back when lightly touched. Let it stand for 10 minutes,
then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. In the end, wrap in plastic when
completely cool.
