Butter a 6 cup (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 bread loaf pan) then dust with flour, tapping out the excess flour. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a measuring cup, combine the milk, zest of 1 orange (reserve 1 tsp zest for the glaze), and orange juice. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar on medium/high speed for 2-3 minutes until just combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture in 2 parts, alternating with the milk mixture, mixing on medium/low speed just until incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed. Toss the cranberries with 1/2 Tbsp flour and gently fold them into the batter until just incorporated. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes at 350?F until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then run a cake release tool or knife around the edges and transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. To Make the Glaze: In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and reserved teaspoon of zest. Stir until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed by adding more orange juice to thin it out or powdered sugar to thicken it.
