I have recreated from LayRecipes: Cranberry bread with orange glaze. I found I still have a bag full of craisins and some leftover orange marmalade in my pantry. Then I got a punnet of blueberries in the fridge. My sister gave me a packet of dehydrated oranges. My other sister also gave me a bottle of white sprinkles. I am turning it into cake as we have dinner at one of my sister home. As usual I just loved to change the ingredients to call it my own.

Google: “Buttermilk is a fermented dairy drink. Traditionally, it was the liquid left behind after churning butter out of cultured cream. As most modern butter in Western countries is not made with cultured cream but uncultured sweet cream, most modern buttermilk in Western countries is cultured separately. It is common in warm climates where unrefrigerated milk sours quickly.”

“Buttermilk can be drunk straight, and it can also be used in cooking. In making soda bread, the acid in buttermilk reacts with the raising agent, sodium bicarbonate, to produce carbon dioxide which acts as the leavening agent. Buttermilk is also used in marination, especially of chicken and pork.”

Google: “Dried cranberries are made by partially dehydrating fresh cranberries, a process similar to making grapes into raisins. They are used in trail mix, salads, breads, with cereals, or eaten on their own. Dried cranberries may be marketed as craisins due to the similarity in appearance with raisins, although the word “Craisin” is a registered trademark of Ocean Spray. Craisins were introduced as part of a packaged cereal produced by Ralston Purina in 1989.”

I have made it 1 1/2 recipe from LayRecipes. As there are so many of us at the dinner party in my sister home. I am glad it turned out moist, not too sweet and delicious. Let’s bake!!!
