Orange and cranberry make the perfect combo for the holidays! Choose to make a single 8-9" cake or 12 muffins.
Place flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, whisk, set aside.
In a mixing bowl blend butter and sugar until well combined. Add, orange zest, vanilla, and eggs, blend well. Alternate adding milk and dry ingredients until well combined and batter is smooth
Fold cranberries in by hand. Pour into prepared cake pan or muffin tin. If making the cake, sprinkle batter with almonds.
Bake muffins for 23-25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Bake cake for 30-35 minutes. Allow to cool, then glaze!
Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Add zest and then add orange juice 1 tablespoon at a time until glaze is just barely pourable. Don't make it too runny or it will all run off the muffins. You want it to be the consistency of honey . Spoon over cooled cake or muffins.
