OLD FASHIONED ROOT BEER FLOAT CAKE

Steps:

• Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter; then add the sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy.

• To decorate the cake: Place 1 cooled cake layer on a cake stand, frost the top surface, and chill for 15 minutes (or freeze 5 minutes). Place the second cake layer on top, inverting it to create a flat top, and push down on it slightly. Frost the sides and top with a thin layer of frosting to hold in any crumbs (called a crumb layer), and chill 30 minutes or freeze 15 minutes.
• Apply a second layer of frosting to finish off the cake, swirling the frosting a bit. Place 12 elbow straws in the cake around the top, and place colored streamers around the edge of the cake flowing down to the base.

ROOT BEER FLOAT ICE CREAM CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften at room temperature. Line a 9"x2" cake pan with plastic wrap, making sure that you have a fair amount of overhang. Using a spatula, carefully spread the ice cream so that you have a nice even layer. Cover and place in the freezer to firm up, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan set over medium heat, combine the cocoa powder, sugars, root beer and butter. Heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and add the root beer extract. Allow to cool while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line the bottoms of 2 9"x2" cake pans with parchment paper and then lightly coat with baking spray, set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine slightly warm butter mixture with the eggs. Mix until the eggs are incorporated. Gradually add the flour, salt and baking soda. The batter will look slightly lumpy but that's ok.
• Pour into the prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove them and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Whip the cream along with the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt until it is stiff.
• To assemble the cake, place one layer of chocolate cake onto a plate, cake stand, or cake round. Place the ice cream (with plastic wrap removed) onto the top of the cake. Place the other layer on top of the ice cream. Using a spatula, frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream. Garnish with cherries and freeze until you're ready to eat it ?-This chocolate root beer cake is adapted from Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, inspired by Taste & Tell.

ROOT BEER FLOAT CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 glass half-pint jars on a rimmed baking sheet. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Whisk in all the liquid ingredients until smooth.

Carefully place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Once cool, screw the lids on the jars to store.
• To serve, place one heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top of each cake. Pour a scant amount of root beer over the ice cream so it fizzes up. Serve with a spoon!

ROOT BEER FLOAT CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• In a bowl, mix together root beer schnapps, root beer, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, mix until smooth.
• Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

• Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until golden brown and cake springs back when touched.
• While cupcakes are baking, prepare your butter cream and root beer glaze. For glaze, put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a wisk until smooth and lump free.
• To assemble, start by letting cupcakes cool, still in the pan.
• While still slightly warm, pour 1 Tbs. of root beer schnapps over each cupcake. Pour on slowly to allow schnapps ( or regular root beer for the kiddies) to soak inches.
• Once the schnapps has soaked in and let sit for a few minutes, pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake.
• When the glaze sets up a bit and isn't too runny, put a "scoop" of buttercream atop each. For an added touch, you can even place a root beer barrel candy on each one.

• Leave about a 1/2 border all along one edge. That will become the bottom of your root beer mug.
• Flip the modeling chocolate rectangles over and spread on a thin layer of vanilla ganache, leaving 1/2 inch border all around.
• Then wrap that, ganache side against the cake, around a cake, cutting off excess modeling chocolate so the two seams match up.
• Rub some water along both ends and press the two seams together.
• Let the wrapped cakes sit for about 30 minutes, then spoon some vanilla ice cream ganache over the cakes.
• Pinch off pieces of the white modeling chocolate, roll into logs and bend to form handles.
• Allow the handles to dry for at least 15 minutes, then use some clear piping gel, water, or melted white chocolate to attach the handles to the mugs and set something underneath to prop them up until they dry.
