Enjoy this moist Orange Cranberry Bread, combining zesty orange and tart cranberries.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cardamom (optional). Whisk together and set aside. Also mix the cranberries with 2 teaspoons of flour in a small bowl and set aside.
In the bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and orange zest for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract along with the last egg and mix.
Next add the sour cream to the bowl and beat until incorporated. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Then, pour in the orange juice and mix to combine.
Gently fold the floured cranberries into the batter, then pour this mixture over the plain batter and spread it evenly.
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low until combined. Add orange juice one tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired glaze consistency.
Drizzle and spread the glaze over the cooled bread, and if desired, top with sugared cranberries and additional orange zest for decoration. Slice and serve.
Topped with a creamy orange glaze makes for a perfect treat for any occasion!
