Cranberry Walnut Bread

From Everyday Food
Makes 1 loaf

*2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
*2 cups all purpose flour, plus more for pan
*1 1/2 tsp baking powder
*1/2 tsp baking soda
*1/2 tsp salt
*1 cup sugar
*1 large egg
*1 tsp grated orange zest
*1 cup fresh orange juice
*1 cup fresh cranberries
*1 cup toasted walnuts

Preheat oven to 325. Butter and flour a loaf pan; set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, powder, soda and salt; set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until combined. Add egg, and beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing until combined (dough will appear very dry). Reduce speed to low; beat in orange zest and juice. Fold in cranberries and walnuts.

Spread batter in pan, smoothing the top. Bake 50 minutes to one hour, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; run a knife around the edges of loaf and invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
