"When I was young (50 years ago) my aunt made a white cake with a lemon and
orange zest icing/glaze. It (the frosting) was tart, colorful and was more like
a thick glaze. She died many years ago and there is no one to ask about it in
the family."
Orange Lemon Icing (Glaze)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon
juice
1 cup fresh orange
juice
2 tablespoons finely
grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
Combine sugar and
cornstarch in medium saucepan. Slowly add lemon and orange juices and stir until
smooth. Add remaining ingredients. Cook and stir frequently, over low heat
until thick and glossy. Cool and spread on cake. This recipe can be doubled.
