  • Bread Batter

    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 🥛 3/4 cup buttermilk
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 🥚 2 extra large eggs
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 cup dried cranberries

  • Icing

    • 1 ounce cream cheese
    • 1 cup confectioners sugar
    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    • 🥛 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
    • 🧂 1 pinch salt

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter an 8-1/2x4-1/2-inch loaf pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper.

2

For bread, whisk together sugar, buttermilk, oil, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Add in 2 cups flour, baking powder, and baking soda and mix until incorporated.

3

Toss cranberries with about 1 1/2 teaspoons flour in a small bowl until coated. Fold cranberries into batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

5

For icing, beat cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, lemon juice, milk, and pinch of salt together in a bowl with an electric mixer until fully smooth and combined. Add more milk if needed for thinner icing, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Spread glaze evenly over the top of cooled loaf.
