Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the creme fraiche, orange juice, orange zest, orange extract(optional), and avocado oil until blended. Set aside.
- Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, beat the eggs, butter, and sugar together for 3-minutes until the mixture is creamy and has expanded. This is an important step in the success of the bread.
- With the mixer running, pour the creme fraiche mixture into the batter until blended.
- Slowly add the flour mixture and beat only until the batter is combined.
- Using a spatula, stir in the fresh cranberries until blended throughout the batter.
- Pour half of the batter in each pan, transfer to the oven and bake approximately 35-minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry from the bread. Note: Each oven bakes differently so it is important to pay attention to necessary the timing of your oven.
- Remove the pans from the oven to cool slightly and carefully tip the bread onto a cooling rack to cool.
Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and cream until well blended.
- Once the bread is cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of each loaf.
