Better Than Best Zucchini Bread



I discovered today, much to my surprise and delight, that there is actually something even better than The BEST Zucchini Bread recipe. (gasp) I know, it seems impossible. What could possibly top that moist and spicy, citrus-zinged quick bread? The only answer is…Orange Cream Cheese Icing! It came to me in a dream, or at least it was on my mind as soon as I awoke.  This creamy orange spread is the “icing on the cake.”  It’s also delicious on pumpkin bread. (I checked…just so I could report its versatility.)

ORANGE CREAM CHEESE SPREAD

1 cube butter, softened (I used Smart Balance)

4 oz. cream cheese, softened (I used Neufchatel)

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract (or 3/4 tsp. powdered vanilla)

1 tsp. grated orange peel

2 Tbsp. orange juice

2 Tbsp. milk

Cream butter and cream cheese together.  Blend in remaining ingredients.

  1. The zucchini bread is beautiful and looks delicious but
    for the recipe ORANGE CREAM CHEESE SPREAD,

    What amount is a cube of butter? a patty? or 1 inch square?

    Thanks – Julia
