Our Test Kitchen gave simple buttercream frosting a tangy twist by adding a splash of orange juice. It goes wonderfully on orange cupcakes or over white, yellow or chocolate cake.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice
Directions
- In a small bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, orange zest and vanilla. Add enough orange juice to achieve frosting consistency.
