Root Beer Cake

[Guest guest]

I ate this as a kid at my Gram's house.

 

Root Beer Cake

 

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

1 cup root beer

2 sticks of margarine

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

 

Mix flour and sugar. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup root

beer and two sticks of margarine, bring to a boil and

add to the flour/sugar mixture. Stir well. Add in 1/2

cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla,

1/2 teaspoon salt, and two eggs. Blend well. Bake in

a 9x12 pan at 325F for 30 minutes.

 

Top your masterpiece off with root beer flavored

frosting:

 

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1/8 teaspoon of salt

2 cups confectioner's sugar

4 tablespoons cream or milk

1 teaspoon root beer extract (or 1 tablespoon of root

beer from the can)

 

Work the butter and salt with a spoon or electric

beater until fluffy and creamy. Add in confectioner's

sugar and cream (or milk), continuing to stir or beat.

Add only enough cream or milk to achieve spreading

consistency. Add vanilla and spread over cake - and

stand by for the applause!
