This inspired the creation of a Cranberry Orange Loaf, reminiscent of the cranberry orange muffins I fondly remember from Starbucks. The cranberries not only infuse a tart flavor but also impart incredible moisture to the center, making it irresistible with every bite.

To elevate the loaf’s presentation, I adorned it with candied orange slices and cranberries. These fruits undergo a cooking process to eliminate bitterness and are then soaked in a simple syrup to enhance their sweetness. The result is not only delicious but also visually stunning.
