Dried Cranberry & Fresh Orange Zest Loaf Cake

A fruit filled, year-round bake that comes alive in your mouth; a delightful fusion of cranberries, orange and vanilla!

Ingredients

90g butter (softened)
120g golden caster sugar
2 medium eggs (lightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
150g self-raising flour
90g yoghurt
120g dried sweetened cranberries
zest of one orange

Method:

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well in between.
Add vanilla bean paste.
Fold in flour.
Add the yoghurt, cranberries and orange zest and combine.
Pour mixture into a 2lb (900g) greased and lined loaf tin.
Sprinkle with extra dried cranberries (optional).
