Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 slices, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups amish starter (see recipezaar.com/321840)
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup oil (or 1/2 oil & 1/2 applesauce)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding (large size)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup dried cranberries

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325'.
To the remaining batter add eggs, baking powder, oil, baking soda, orange juice, vanilla, 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, vanilla instant pudding, 2 tsp cinnamon, orange zest, and cranberries. (Make sure the cranberries are mixed in well so they don't end up sitting on the bottom).
Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.
