1.5 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 sticks of softened butter
4 eggs
2 tsp pure orange extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
Once thoroughly cooled, top with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting (see below).

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Grease 9 x 13 pan.

Sitr together flour, sugar, and salt.  Add butter, eggs, orange extract and orange zest.  Using electric mixer, beat until well blended.  Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30 min or until light golden brown and set.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  Pierce entire cake with a fork.  Spread Orange Cream Cheese Frosting over brownies once they are completely cooled.  Store in fridge.

Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:

In large mixing bowl, whip the butter and cream cheese together.  Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until all is combined and smooth.  Beat in the orange zest and  OJ.  Spread over the brownies.  Enjoy, no, savor!!  :)
