From Amy's mother
Ingredients
- subheading: Cakes:
- 1 yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- ⅓ cup oil
- 1 ¼ cups orange juice (use undiluted, thawed orange juice concentrate for stronger flavor)
- ½ zest of one orange
- subheading: Frosting:
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ½ zest of one orange
Steps
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350°. Before mixing, check the directions on the cake mix box and adjust ingredients to match.
- Mix cake batter with electric mixer according to directions, then gently stir in half of the orange zest hand.
- Spoon batter into greased miniature muffin tins, about half full.
- Bake about 12 to 14 minutes till top springs back when touched. (Bake in two batches for best results.)
- Cool on racks then remove from tins and frost.
- Frosting: Mix the butter, salt, rest of the zest, and one cup of the sugar.
- Alternately add the orange juice and the remaining sugar till the frosting is smooth and creamy enough to stay on top of the cakes.
- Spread it on the tops of the cakes and keep at room temperature till serving time.
- Once the frosting has “set up,” you can drape aluminum foil over the cakes if you want, but they’ll keep fine without any covering.
