Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180C. Grease a loaf pan 8" x 4".
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk in the orange zest and sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, coconut oil, and orange juice.
Pour into the dry ingredients and mix well.
Fold in the cranberries ( without the water) and pour the batter into your prepared pan.
Bake at 180C for 40-50 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes before turning it out on a cooling rack to cool completely.

Orange Glaze

Whisk together the icing sugar and orange juice until a thick, smooth glaze is formed.
Pour this over the cooled cake. Sprinkle some orange zest. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes, then slice and serve. Enjoy!
