Instructions for Buttercream Frosting

From: Carol AE Nickerson Date: 1 Apr 1994 01:18:19 -0500 I have been using this easy recipe from the side of the box of powdered sugar for frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 lb. box of powdered sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/3 cup soft butter or margarine. Beat with electric mixer or heavy spoon until smooth and creamy, scraping bowl often. If too thick to spread easily, beat in a few drops of milk. Frosts tops and sides of two 8- or 9-inch cake layers. Does anyone have any ideas for varying the flavor of this frosting? One of my cookbooks suggested omitting the vanilla and substituting orange or lemon juice for the milk and adding 2 teaspoons of grated orange peel or 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel. I tried both orange and lemon and what happens is that the water from the orange or lemon juice leaks out of the frosting and puddles on the cake plate, making the cake soggy at the bottom.
