This is a very simple butter icing, used to spread on top of the cake. It has less butter than the normal buttercream icing.
Make sure the margarine or unsalted butter being used is softened first. It’s best to use freshly squeezed orange juice. You can also use lime or lemon juice or dissolved instant coffee (1 teaspoon), or honey or maple syrup or melted chocolate. The sky is the limit. Happy Baking!
To prepare the orange butter icing: sift icing (confectioners) sugar into a bowl.
Stir in the soft margarine and enough orange juice to make a spreadable consistency (I added about 1¾ tablespoons orange juice)
The butter icing looks like this
