Hi Lois,

Each of these recipes includes an orange glaze that might help to moisten your dry cranberry cake. I would make just the glaze as directed, poke some holes in your cake with a skewer or straw and brush or slowly pour on the glaze letting it soak in. Since yours has been glazed already (I'm assuming more of a icing-type glaze) you can cut back on the amount of sugar in the orange glaze if you'd like. It should be tasty!

Glazed Orange Cake

1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. grated orange rind
5 eggs
3 c. cake flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup milk

GLAZE:
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup orange juice or more

Butter and flour a 10 inch tube pan. Cream butter or margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and orange rind. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together twice the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Add to the creamed mixture a little at a time, alternately with the milk, ending up with flour, beating well after each addition. Spoon into prepared tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until top if cake springs back when touched. Cool pan on wire rack for 2 minutes. Heat ingredients for glaze in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Pour evenly over cake in pan while cake is still hot. Allow cake to cool thoroughly in the tube pan before removing. Makes 14-16 servings. This is an excellent cake and keeps very well.
