Replacing orange in bread?

[alormont]

Hey, I hope someone can help. I am making some baked goods for my family for Christmas and my mom wanted Cranberry Walnut Bread but said she didn’t like the orange flavor that is usually in it. While searching, all I could find were recipes with orange so I was going to stick with the recipe in Veganomicon but it calls for 1/4 c orange juice & 1

How about apple juice and add lemon zest or none at all?

This! Apple juice will preserve some of the acidity necessary (which soy milk won't).

the recipe doesn't need acidity; it's just a flavor pairing suggestion that happens to be acidic. I make cranberry bread less acidic by using bananas.

It does if it's relying on baking soda alone to raise the bread; baking powder raises itself, but baking soda requires acid in a recipe to raise it. Then again, recipes differ.

I would try replacing it with part lemon juice, part soymilk, and lemon zest?

I'd definitely leave out the orange zest, but not necessarily the juice. I'm not heaps into orange zest and feel like it's much more over-powering than the juice itself, and is probably the thing that ruins fruitcake for me.
