1. In the bowl of your mixer, add butter and sugar, and whisk until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs, one at a time and whisk well after each addition.
3. Add orange zest, orange juice and mix until combined.
4. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix using a rubber spatula.  Mix in the cranberries until well combined.

6. Bake in a preheated oven of 180 degree Celsius for 55-60 minutes until a wooden skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
8. Transfer the cake on a cooling rack to cool completely.
9. Cut the cake into slices and enjoy with a cup of hot tea or coffee.

Note: This recipe comes with a glaze, but I leave it out as I prefer it less sweet.
