Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Zest the orange into a small bowl, then cut in half and juice it into a separate bowl.
Step 3
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest together in a large bowl.
Step 4
Whisk eggs and melted butter together, then whisk in the orange juice until combined.
Step 5
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just barely combined—batter should look shaggy.
Step 6
Fold in cranberries gently using a spatula until evenly scattered throughout the batter.
Step 7
Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake 45–50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a crumb.
Step 9
Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
