Orange Cranberry Bread

  

I was at the Superstore and came across oranges and then some cranberries.....so naturally orange cranberry bread came to mind. I do not normally make muffins or quick breads because they NEVER turn out for me. They are always rubbery and holey. But I am bound and determined to get over this little hurdle! lol I will practice until I get the darn things conquered!

This bread came out pretty good.  I think I will actually try this one again.

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
• 1/4 cup margarine, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup orange juice

Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in orange zest and cranberries.

In a large bowl, cream together margarine, sugar, and egg until smooth. Stir in orange juice. Beat in flour mixture until just moistened. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 1 hour in the 350 degree oven. After it cooled I drizzled it with a mix of icing sugar and orange juice.
