3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in pumpkin and orange zest (mixture will appear curdled). Combine the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and baking powder; add to pumpkin mixture just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and cranberries.
Pour into two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350° for 65-75 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
