Ingredients:
- zest of two lemons
- equipment needed: mix master or hand mixer, cake to frost, someone to lick the beaters afterwards (ask me if i am around)
Directions:
- After sifting the confectioner's sugar, set aside temporarily.
- Put butter into mixing bowl and start beating till smooth.
- Add salt and lemon zest.
- Add sugar slowly (and I mean slowly otherwise you will create a powdered cloud around you and the kitchen sink) - about one cup at a time.
- Slow down mixture to help prevent sugar cloud from appearing.
- Add egg white and two tablespoons of lemon juice to bowl. Continue mixing till very smooth.
- Check consistency of frosting. If still too stiff, continue to add one tablespoon of lemon juice at a time until the right consistency is achieved. Some people like a stiffer frosting as others prefer a looser type.
- Spread on your favorite just baked and cooled down cake.
- You can substitute Orange for the lemon - which is also amazingly good on my fantastic fudge cake.
