This loaf is studded with cranberries and walnuts. The orange juice and zest brighten up the whole shebang, enhancing the tartness of the cranberries, making this loaf of sweet bread oh so heavenly and delicious. And the glaze, well, it's kinda the best part.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, so that a little bit of paper hangs out over the edges.
2.
Whisk together All-Purpose Flour (2 cups), Granulated Sugar (1 cup), Baking Powder (2 tsp), and Salt (1 tsp) in a large bowl.
3.
Cut the Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) into the flour mixture until it is pea sized and resembles course meal.
4.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the zest and juice from the Oranges (3), Eggs (2), Sour Cream (1/3 cup), and Vanilla Extract (2 tsp). Pour into the flour mixture and mix gently until just combined.
5.
Fold in the Fresh Cranberries (1 1/2 cups) and the Roasted Walnuts (1/2 cup).
6.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour until a toothpick comes out clean.
7.
Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack for about 15 minutes before removing bread from pan and letting it completely cool on a wire rack.
8.
Once cool, whisk together Powdered Confectioners Sugar (1 cup), 1/4 tsp of Orange Zest, and Roasted Walnuts (4 Tbsp). Add Orange (1) one tablespoon at a time, stirring, until the desired thickness is reached.
9.
Place a piece of parchment paper under wire rack that the bread is cooling on and slowly pour glaze over the top of the bread.
10.
Slice and enjoy!
