EASY ORANGE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (COOK'S ILLUSTRATED)



Easy Orange Buttercream Frosting (Cook's Illustrated) image

From the Cook's Illustrated Website: Any of the buttercream frostings can be made ahead and refrigerated; if refrigerated, however, they must stand at room temperature to soften before use. If using a hand-held mixer, increase mixing times significantly (at least 50 percent). This recipe can be doubled to make enough for a two-layer cake. Makes 1 1/2 cups, enough for 12 cupcakes.
