A delightful spiced pumpkin loaf with cranberries, perfect for festive occasions or a cozy treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
Grease and flour two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans.
Use parchment paper for easier removal of the loaves.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients to avoid lumps.
In another bowl, beat together the sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, oil, and orange juice until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a uniform batter.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
Fold in the cranberries gently.
Coat the cranberries in a bit of flour to prevent them from sinking.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Tap the pans gently to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Rotate the pans halfway through baking for even cooking.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Ensure the loaves are completely cool before slicing to avoid crumbling.
Slice and serve your delicious Spiced Pumpkin Cranberry Loaf.
Pair with a hot beverage for a cozy treat.
