Orange Frosting

I used this recipe on gingerbread cake yesterday and it hit the spot. It's not overly sweet, but adds a great citrus flavor to the dessert it frosts.

This recipe makes enough to cover an 8x13-inch sheet cake with a thin layer of frosting. If you like thick frosting double the recipe.

Orange Frosting

2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/8 - 1/4 cup milk (start with the smaller amount and then add more if the frosting is too thick)
1 tsp freshly grated orange peel

Mix everything together until it is the consistency you want. Frost and enjoy! It looks really pretty if you take some extra grated orange and sprinkle it over the top.
