6. Fold in the dried cranberries, the cooled chopped walnuts, the chopped pistachios, and the orange zest.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pans briefly, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
9. Stir the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then gradually add the milk and mix until smooth and pourable.
10. After the cake has cooled completely, drizzle with the glaze and sprinkle with dried cranberries and chopped pistachios. Let it rest for a few hours before serving for best flavor.
