Here is a delicious cranberry bread recipe.

It is called a bread or cranberry loaf, but it really is a cake, similar to a coffee cake.

Cakes like this, such as banana bread and zucchini bread are not yeast breads but because they are baked in a loaf tin they are often referred to as breads instead of cakes.

Cranberry Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 3/4 cup orange juice
• 6 ounces (about 1/2 bag) fresh cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• 1/2 to 1 cup raisins (optional)

Method

Quick bread recipes tend to be a bit denser than a regular cake recipe. They are perfect for slicing and enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee as a light, sweet snack.

The addition of the orange juice is a nice complement to the tart cranberries and the walnuts add extra nutrition and crunch.

Of course you can leave the walnuts out of the recipe if you prefer a nut free cranberry cake, but they really add a nice bit of texture to the bread.

I think you will love this easy cake recipe. It is one of those cakes you will want to make a few of. Eat one and freeze the others for unexpected company.
