Cranberry and orange are a classic combo, and for good reason: The floral sweetness of the citrus balances the bright tang of the cranberries. They come together in this easy loaf cake, where the citrus notes permeate and allow us to use less added sugar than you’d typically use in a cake. To keep prep simple, we use self-rising flour—an ingredient you might already have in your pantry from our two-ingredient dough–based recipes. Be sure to allow the cake to cool completely before spreading on the glaze; if it’s warm, the glaze will slide off.
