Recipe Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Ensure that they are well combined.
-
Incorporate Butter: Cut the butter into the dry ingredient mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This can be done using a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingertips.
-
Add Wet Ingredients: To the crumbly mixture, add the egg, finely grated lemon peel, and the juice from the lemon. Carefully stir everything together until the mixture is evenly moistened. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
-
Fold in Cranberries: Gently fold in the cranberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough loaf.
-
Transfer to Loaf Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and the bread should spring back lightly when touched.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your Easy All Cranberry Bread as a delightful breakfast treat, snack, or accompaniment to your favorite meal! ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฅ
