Instructions
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- 3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- 4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the loaf tender.
- 5. Fold in the fresh cranberries and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- 6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- 7. Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
