Root beer Float Cupcakes!

For those who don’t know…. a root beer float is a mix of root beer with scoops of vanilla ice cream served in a glass with a straw! (root beer has no alcohol, it’s not like real beer). This genius recipe turns your cupcakes into a root beer float!

 As you can see, you scoop out some of the middle of your cupcake and add ice cream and a touch of root beer inside for taste and then cover it up with whip cream just like a real float! 

 But make sure you prepare and eat this ASAP cuz it doesn’t hold up for long!

Recipe:

Cupcakes

• 2 cups root beer (I used Boylan because it was easy to find and made with cane sugar)
• 1 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs

Toppings

• 1 1/2 cups heavy or whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pint of vanilla ice cream (you’ll have leftover; you’re welcome)
• Maraschino cherries (optional)
