Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with aluminum foil that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine eggs and sugar using the whisk attachment; whip until eggs have turned pale yellow and mixture has thickened and more than doubled in volume, about 3-5 minutes.
Add softened butter, vanilla, salt and orange zest; mix until incorporated.
Stir flour in with a spatula, followed by the cranberries; stir just until mixed.
Pour into the prepared baking pan. Bake 45-50 minutes, until browned on top and a wooden toothpick stuck in the center of the cake comes out crumb free.
Cut into 16 squares. Serve.
Store leftover cake in the refrigerator.
