Make the cranberry jam for filling using this Gluten Free Cranberry Jam recipe.
For the frosting beat the butter and cream cheese in your stand mixer until combined. Add salt, powdered sugar, orange juice and orange peel. Beat until combined and smooth.
If the frosting is too thick for you add milk one tablespoon at a time until you get your desired consistency.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting. I like to freeze my cakes overnight to make frosting them really easy.
