Michael's Birthday Cake

This is the cake that is affectionately referred to as Michael's Birthday Cake. It's really just angelfood cake with buttercream frosting, but it has always been my brother Michael's choice at birthday times. I think I've eaten too much of the frosting today though.
1 baked Angelfood cake (I NEVER make this cake from scratch as it requires a full dozen eggs!)
Now for the best part--frosting.
Cream together:
1 stick of butter
Zest of 1 orange and 1 lemon
Add:
1 lb. powdered sugar
Juice of lemon and orange
Enough cream or additonal lemon juice to make a spreadable or spoonable frosting.
You'll know it's a success when there are many finger marks in the frosting!
