Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, orange zest, vanilla, and oil.
4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
5. Add cranberries: In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently fold into batter.
6. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
7. Make orange syrup: In a small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves, then cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from heat.
8. Brush syrup: Poke holes in the warm loaf and brush with orange syrup. Let soak in, then brush again. Let cool completely.
9. Make orange glaze: Whisk together confectioners’ sugar and orange juice until thick but pourable. Adjust with more orange juice if needed.
10. Glaze: Pour orange glaze over the top of the loaf, letting it drip down the sides. Let harden before serving.
