Lightly oil or spray with a mist of oil a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, ensuring even coverage, and set aside. -

Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unbleached flour, sugar, poppy seeds, and baking powder. Stir well to ensure even distribution of ingredients, and set aside. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the water and Ener-G Egg Substitute vigorously for about 1 minute or until frothy, resembling beaten egg whites. -
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
Add Spectrum Spread to the water-egg replacer mixture, whisking until smooth. Then, add the soymilk and vanilla, whisking again until well combined. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. -
Add Cranberries and Lemon Zest:
Gently fold in the fresh and frozen cranberries along with the lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. -
Transfer to Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. -
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool:
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and allow it to cool completely before slicing or storing. -

To keep your Cranberry Poppy Seed Bread fresh, wrap it securely in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it at room temperature for up to several days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
