Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a 9 in.x 13 in. pan with vegetable pan spray.
Prepare topping: in a medium bowl, combine butter, oats, flour, almonds, sugars, cinnamon and salt. Use pastry blender or fork to cut-in butter until mixture is crumbly and well combined; set aside.
For cake, in a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in orange zest, juice, and vanilla extract. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk; beating at low speed just until combined. Stir in cranberries and chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.
Spread batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with topping.
Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired. Serve warm.
