We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Move oven rack to low position so that top of pan will be in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottom only of a loaf pan, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 inches.

  • Step 2: Stir together cranberries, sugar, oil, milk, orange extract, orange peel and eggs in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Pour into pan.

  • Step 3: Bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

  • Step 4: Cool 10 minutes on wire rack.

  • Step 5: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and Grand Marnier. Glaze should be the consistency of corn syrup.

  • Step 6: Loosen sides of loaves from pan; remove from pan and place top side up on wire rack. Place wire rack over a cookie sheet.

  • Step 7: With a skewer, poke deep holes in top of loaf (about 10 holes evenly spaced). Drizzle with glaze so that it coats the top, runs down the sides and seeps through the holes.

  • Step 8: Cool completely before slicing
