Description

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup butter (unsalted, softened)
• 1/4 Cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 Cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 Cup eggnog, divided
• 1/4 Cup sour cream
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract (you can substitute orange or lemon extract if you prefer)
• 1-3/4 Cup flour
• 1 Teaspoon grated orange or lemon peel (you can skip this if you opt to use orange or lemon extract)
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1 Teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1-1/2 Cups fresh cranberries (reserve a few for sprinkling over top before baking)
• 1/2 Cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (reserve a few for sprinkling over top before baking)
• 1 Cup powdered sugar

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. On high speed, cream butter and sugars Reduce speed to low and add eggs, one at a time Add 1/4 cup eggnog, sour cream and vanilla (or orange or lemon) extract Scrape down sides of bowl and mix until smooth In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, orange (or lemon) peel if using, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients Add another 1/4 cup eggnog and mix until combined Fold in cranberries and walnuts (I like to reserve a few for sprinkling over top before baking) Spoon batter into greased bread pan (I use cooking spray for this) Bake 35-45 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Keep an eye on the browning of the top -- if it browns too quickly, lay a sheet of foil over the top to slow down the browning. Cool bread slightly and remove from pan.
• Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons eggnog on low speed until combined. Increase speed and mix until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
