A & W Root Beer Cake

published by DA Cournean on May 10, 2009

If you like root beer, you will love this scrumptious easy to make cake. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ll have the taste of a rootbeer float.

A & W root beer will give you the strongest  flavor,  however any other brand you use will be just as good. You will need a 20 ounce bottle of root beer to make this cake and frosting.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixer bowl:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (soft)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup A & W Root beer

Blend ingredients at low speed, then beat for 3 minutes at medium speed.  Pour into greased and floured 12 by 8 inch pan.

Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.

Frosting

  • 1 pound condectioners’ sugar
  • 1 cup chilled root beer

Combine in mixer bowl and blend well.  Beat until thick and fluffy.
