Ingredients

  • 1 large orange
  • 1.5 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter , softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can pumpkin puree , 14 ounce
  • 0.25 cups orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries , such as Craisins®
  • 0.67 cups chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust the bottom with flour.

  2. 2

    Zest the entire orange, avoiding the white (pith). Peel and section the orange and remove all seeds. Chop orange pulp in the bowl of a food processor or blender until fine. Reserve with the zest.

  3. 3

    Cream sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until very well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in pumpkin, reserved chopped orange and zest, orange juice, and grated ginger.

  4. 4

    Whisk flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into the wet batter until almost all is moistened, but do not overwork. Fold in dried cranberries and pecans. Turn into the prepared loaf pan.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan, on a wire rack, for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on the wire rack before wrapping.
