Jonas' friend Leila spent some time with us over spring break and they made this frosting recipe to take cupcakes to Ellensburg Vegetarian Society's monthly potluck. We added a little bit of orange extract into the cupcakes to complete the chocolate orange experience and judging by everyone's reactions they were a complete success.

Watch the video to follow along with Jonas and Leila (kids love watching and adults get a good laugh because toddler bakers are so sweet and delightful) or just follow the recipe:

Ingredients

1 cup earth balance (or other vegan butter)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Method

Combine earth balance, orange extract, and vanilla. Add powdered sugar slowly, up to 1/4 cup at a time.

**I purchased the orange extract at Super 1 but check out the link above to the brand on amazon because it was so amazing that I really felt like it took the flavor of the frosting to a whole new level compared to the other ones I've used in the past.
