Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350°.
Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan using PAM Baking with Flour.
Toss the cranberries with 1 Tablespoon of flour in a small bowl.
Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed for about one minute, until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs and beat on medium-high speed for one minute.
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add half of the flour mixture to the butter, mix on low speed until just combined.
Add half of the milk and mix on low speed just until combined. Then add the remainder of the flour mixture, then mix in the remainder of the milk.
Fold in the orange zest and the cranberries.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake one hour , or until a toothpick stuck into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool the loaf for about 15 minutes and then remove it from the pan.
Orange Glaze
Combine the sugar and orange juice in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Cook for about 30 seconds and remove the pan from the heat.
Gently pierce the top of the loaf cake many times with a toothpick. Use a pastry brush to apply the glaze evenly over the top of the loaf.
