Tutti Frutti Cake

I used my clipped recipe of Orange - Cranberry bread from "Good Housekeeping" as an inspiration.  I modified the recipe to make the Tutti Frutti cake. Though the cakes shaped like a loaf are known as tea or coffee "breads"; I prefer to call this version as a "cake".

1 large or 2 medium oranges, make 1 tsp orange zest and 1/2 cups orange juice

2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar

1/4 tsp salt

2 large eggs, at room temperature
4 tbsp butter, melted
4 oz cream cheese (optional)
