YUM ALERT: Root Beer Float Cake

Written by Ashley

While I’m not a huge fan of Root Beer – I tried these recently and got all sorts of excited about it – with the chocolate factor in high gear. This, however, delicious as it is – is one of those ‘enter with caution‘ deals – super, duper rich.

Find the recipe here — but sneak peek on the frosting. It’s mouthwatering.  Recipe & image via JoyTheBaker.com

Chocolate Root Beer Frosting

  • 2 ounces 60% cocoa, melted
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt (you may want to use less… maybe just 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1/4 cup root beer
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 1/2  cups powdered sugar
