Ingredients

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups rolled old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh or dried cranberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar if using fresh cranberries
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel

For the Orange Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
2 or 3 teaspoons fresh orange juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan. Set aside.
Toss the fresh cranberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and set aside. If using dried sweetened cranberries, soak in warm water for about 10-15 minutes then drain well.
In a small bowl stir together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter with mixer for about 30 seconds on medium speed. Add 1 cup of sugar, mixing well. Add eggs and beat until combined. Alternate adding the flour and milk, beating at low speed until combined.
Fold the cranberries and orange peel into the batter. Spread in the prepared cake pan and bake for 50-60 minutes. Test with wooden pick inserted near the center, it should come out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

For the Orange Glaze

In a small bowl combine the powdered sugar, finely shredded orange peel and add the fresh orange juice for drizzling consistency.
Spoon Orange Glaze over cooled cake. Let stand until cake glaze is set.

Notes

I used dried, sweetened cranberries for these photos.
