With Christmas just around the corner, we thought it would be nice to do a bit of festive baking that children can get involved with too. So today we're in Glenfield at the home of Lisa James who runs the Little Cook's Club. Ingredients: 1/2 orange 63g fresh cranberries 1/2 tsp baking powder 112g self raising flour 2 eggs 112g caster sugar 112g butter/margarine 1 tsp caster sugar for sprinkling over cooked loaf Method: Cream together the butter and sugar, add the zest of half an orange (or more or less, according to your taste) Add the eggs and stir Add the flour and baking powder Stir well until the mixture comes together Add the cranberries and mix gently, just to combine Pour the mixture into a loaf tin, lined with parchment paper, or into cupcake/muffin cases (you should be able to make 12) Pop into a preheated oven (160/170 degrees) for around 25-35 minutes, until the top of the loaf is golden Allow the loaf to cool for a few moments, then prick holes all over with a fork Sprinkle a teaspoon of caster sugar over the top Squeeze half of a fresh orange and pour the juice over the top Enjoy!
