Ingredients:
1 Vanilla Cake Mix
1 Can Of Root Beer
1 Egg
1 8oz Cool Whip
1 Can Of Cream Cheese Frosting
Optional: Cherries, Crushed Hard Flavored Root Beer Candies, Straws for display
Directions:
Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Open the can of root beer and place two tablespoons of root beer into a cup and set aside. Then, in a large bowl, mix the vanilla cake mix, 1 egg and the can of root beer. Mix and whisk until no lumps are left in the cake mix. Spray a cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour cake mix into the pan. Bake the cake according to the directions on the cake box.
Icing: In a large bowl, mix icing and unthawed cool whip together. Once it is mixed well, add the two tablespoons of root beer to the icing and mix it in. Chill icing in the refrigerator until ready to spread on the cooled cake after it has finished baking. Once icing is spread on the cake, you can crush up hard disc root beer flavored candies and sprinkle on top of the cake if you like a little extra crunch. You may also decorate with cherries and straws to add the finishing touches to your Root Beer Float Cake!
Enjoy!
Side Note: If you do not want a strong root beer flavoring with your cake, you do not have to add the root beer to the icing.
