Glazed Cranberry-Orange Loaf Cake

6 Points, Dessert

Ingredients

4 sprays cooking spray

1/3 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/3 cup plain fat free greek yogurt

2 Tbsp canola oil

1 Tbsp orange zest

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1 3/4 cups self-rising flour

3/4 cup fresh cranberries, chopped

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 1/2 tsp - 3 tsp fresh orange juice

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 5–inch loaf pan with parchment paper; coat the paper with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and eggs; beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the yogurt, oil, zest, vanilla, and ½ cup juice; beat at medium-low speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Beating at low speed, gradually add the flour. Fold in the cranberries.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30 to 33 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan, using the parchment paper to lift it; cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.

In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and 2 ½ tsp juice until smooth; add ½ tsp more juice if needed. Spread the glaze over the cake.
