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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, milk, spiced rum, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Step 5
Fold in the orange zest and chopped cranberries using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Slice, serve, and enjoy your Cranberry Loaf with a Hiccup! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
