Default Moist Quick Breads

I found a recipe in a Silver Palate cookbook for Cranberry Orange bread
that we really like, but I would like for it to be moister. Below is the
recipe. Any suggestions for alterations to make the bread moister?

2 C. flour
1/2 C. sugar
1 T. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
2/3 C. orange juice
2 eggs, beaten slightly
3 T. butter, melted
1/2 C. chopped walnuts
1 1/4 C. cranberries
2 t. grated orange rind

Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8 x 4 1/2 x 3" loaf pan.
Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the middle and
pour in orange juice, eggs and melted butter. Mix well without
overmixing. Fold in walnuts, cranberries and rind.

Pour batter into the prepared pan (NOTE: There was no "pouring" to this;
it was "scoop and spread" consistency). Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or
until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

After cooling, wrap and put away for 1 to 2 days before serving.
