- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the orange juice, vanilla, and orange zest.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, orange zest, and vanilla and mix together well.
- Generously butter and flour a 10 inch bundt pan and scoop the batter into it, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sides shrink away from the pan and the center of the loaf springs back.
- Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a round platter.
- Sprinkle a little confectioners sugar over the top of the bread and serve warm or at room temperature, accompanied by small pots of cranberry butter.
