OLD FASHIONED ROOT BEER FLOAT CAKE

Notes about the recipe: This was one of the cakes entered in the Whirlpool Unique Cake Contest I judged last year, kind of like the Pillsbury Bake Off. It was made by Jacquelyn Smola from Piedmont, OK and it was so fun and festive looking I really wanted to share it with you for a birthday party idea and make it for Gio this year. My absolute favorite drink is a root beer float so it was hard to not give this the first place prize. But there were other judges who kept me from tipping the scale right to root beer. A chocolate cake with toffee topping won first instead and the $10,000 prize, which she donated to Heifer International. And I got a new Whirlpool kitchen out of the deal! I've also had root beer cookies, brought to me by a baking fan in Rochester, New York.

Time 3h10m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup butter
2 cups granulated sugar
3 cups cake flour
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 teaspoons water
4 eggs
1 tablespoon root beer extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
7 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 cups butter
3 to 5 tablespoons heavy cream
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Equipment: 12 elbow straws and colored streamers

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.
  • Meanwhile, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the water and eggs to the butter mixture until blended. Mix in the root beer extract and vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to form a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until just set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, and then invert onto cooling racks to cool completely before frosting.
  • Make the Frosting: In a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the confectioners' sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended; then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. Add the cream and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed to reach spreading consistency.
  • 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.
