I got some of my best recipes from the MPS Trib (I have a few of their old "annual cooking contest" cookbooks) - their food section was always full of wonderful ideas! This one sounds delicious (especially for a root beer lover like me!)...thanks, mrsp!


WOW...does this sound good. I don't care where ya got it, but I am really glad you shared it!!!! Thanks!


You know, I made this and I was surprised that I actually liked it better the second day. Don't get me wrong. . . I *really* enjoyed it the first day too, but the flavor was more there the second day. The cake does not have an overwhelming rootbeer taste but the flavor is subtle and good. Thank you for a great post! :D


By the way, the frosting is awesome too!


For the frosting, is it to be mixed by hand or electric mixer?


I gave my kids root beer for the first time and they said it tasted like tooth paste. Before they said that I was really enjoying root beer floats, but the more I thought about it, the flavor did taste just as they said. It took awhile for me to like root beer again. I am going to make this cake and see what they think now that they are grown. Thanks for sharing it.
