Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine frozen cranberries, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Heat over medium-low until cranberries soften and begin to burst, about 8-12 minutes.
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and orange zest. Rub together until fragrant, then stir in eggs, whisking until blended.
- Gradually add melted butter, sunflower oil, vanilla extract, sour cream, and milk, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in whole cranberries, then mix ¾ cup of the batter with the cooled cranberry compote.
- Spoon half of the plain batter into the prepared loaf pan, layer the cranberry batter on top, then add the remaining plain batter.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a skewer.
- Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar with orange juice and any remaining cranberry compote.
- Once the loaf has cooled, drizzle the icing over the top.

Notes
Avoid over-mixing for a light, airy loaf. Use room temperature ingredients for better incorporation. Let the loaf cool completely before icing.
