Very simple and fresh tasting. I did add about a tablespoon of melted butter only because powdered sugar can have a chalky-like under tone with too few ingredients. This was perfect as a glaze over a deep chocolate cake.
Great easy recipe to have on hand. I like a strong orange kick so I added 1/2 teaspoon of finely grated rind. Ended up having to add 2 tablespoons of orange juice. Goes well on cranberry orange nut bread.
The name of this recipe says it all--it's a simple, fresh orange glaze. I made this to go on Big Soft Ginger Cookies (also on this site), and the combination was wonderful. I had to use a bit more orange juice to get the right consistency for drizzling on cookies, but the results were perfect. This is a nice glaze to have on hand for a variety of uses.
Very good!!!! I used 3 tablespoons fresh "red" orange juice..used it to glaze a carrot cake I prefer this to cream cheese frosting!!!
This is really good for a simple orange glaze - and it's all fresh and super easy to make! I ended up needing considerably more orange juice also a little less than the juice from half of the orange I was using to get the drizzly consistency I was looking for. But this was awesome!
You're going to need more orange juice! I did 1 cup confectioner's about 1/2 teaspoon zest and 3 tablespoons juice.
this glaze was used in a cake from this site called too much chocolate cake...(LOL No such thing as too much chocolate).Any way the combination of chocolate and orange flavors goes wayyyyyy back and this was a perfect topping. many have asked for this recipie and I always steer them here. Will make this again...and again...and again!
I have used this sooo many times.... and it is perfect. Adjust the sugar or juice to make it as thin or thick as needed. This time I replaced the orange zest and juice with lemon. I have also done lime. Love it! Thanks for sharing!
This glaze was wonderful. I used it for the Cranberry Nut Bread I on this site great combination. I liked the glaze very much and would use it again for other things like cookies or breakfast rolls. Thanks so much!
The recipe is on to something but it needs work: The addition of butter is critical since without it the glaze lacks body. Plus as stated above much more juice is needed to achieve a glaze consistency.
