Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, mix your wet ingredients: melt the butter and let it cool, then combine it with the eggs, vanilla extract, and stir in the orange zest.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients carefully until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cranberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
