Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F, and grease a 9 x 5 - inch loaf pan.

• Take a third large bowl and whisk the buttermilk, oil, orange juice, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and the orange zest/sugar mixture, and whisk until just combined. Don't overmix!
• Next, add the cranberries and use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until well incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the greased loaf pan. Place in the oven and baked for 65-75 minutes. If the bread begins to brown too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil loosely over the top to prevent burning.
• The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a very light crumb. Remove the bread from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring from the pan to a cooling rack.
• While the bread cools, make the glaze.
• In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and orange juice.
• Whisk or use a hand mixer on low until the glaze is smooth and creamy. Adjust the amount of orange juice to reach desired consistency.
• After the bread cools completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, slice, and serve.
