Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Gently fold in the cranberries.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
2. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Prepare the Orange Glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth. Adjust the orange juice to reach your desired consistency.
2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
