I used a Cream Cheese frosting instead of the glaze they suggested in the recipe. This cake also freezes pretty well. With just the two of us around,, we certainly don’t want large quantities of anything this yummy really easy to get to.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 Pkg Cream Cheese
6 T Butter
1 T orange juice (the secret ingredient)
1 T vanilla
1-3/4 C Powdered Sugar
Beat Cream Cheese and Butter till fluffy. Add orange juice and vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar will mixed well and fluffy.
Try this recipe out and let me know how you like it. It was a hit at our house–be sure to not over bake the cake. It needs to be a little moist before pulling from the oven. Bari
