01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar and softened butter. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and slightly crumbly. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually add the orange liqueur and orange zest to the bowl. (1 minute)

Step

Continue to beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and smooth. Be careful not to overbeat. (4 minutes)

05

Step

Use immediately to frost a cooled cake, cupcakes, or other desserts. Enjoy!

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality orange zest.
If the frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon of orange liqueur or milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
If the frosting is too thin, add a tablespoon of confectioners' sugar at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.

    This frosting is so much better than store-bought! It's worth the extra effort to make it from scratch.

    I used Grand Marnier in the frosting and it was delicious! It added a nice depth of flavor.

  • Mya Kilbackschinner

    I found the frosting to be a little too sweet, so I reduced the amount of confectioners' sugar by 1/4 cup and it was perfect.

  • Dolly Treutel

    Be careful not to overbeat the frosting, or it will become too stiff.
