I was in the mood for coffee cake, so I did some rooting around and found this via Gourmet. The original recipe called for slivered almonds on top of the cake, but since I didn&#8217;t have any and didn&#8217;t feel like going out &#8211; I improvised with a glaze on top. It was <strong><em>amazing<\/em><\/strong>! The cake was moist, had a subtle hint of orange zest, the glaze was just right, and the cranberries&#8230; oh, the <strong><em>cranberries<\/em><\/strong>!!! So amazing in fact, that I ran out the next morning in search of more cranberries to hoard in my freezer. Go out, find some cranberries, and <em>make this cake<\/em>!!! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (Yeah, I&#8217;m talking to <em>you<\/em> Mr. DeLorme!)<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>For the filling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 cups fresh cranberries<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the cake:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n<li>2 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoon baking powder<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature<\/li>\n<li>2 large eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon orange zest<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the glaze:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3\/4 cup confectioners sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon warm water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Directions:<br \/>\n1.

In a separate bowl with an electric mixer, beat together butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and milk in batches, beginning and ending in flour.
