However, after several hours in the refrigerator when I ate another piece, it had lost that flavor, too.Also, I did need to use both envelopes of the Dream Whip in order to cover the top of the cake.Although it did not taste like root beer, it was a very good tasting PLAIN cake...very moist.So I would probably make it again as a regular cake, but definitely would not call it a root beer float cake.If I added more root beer to the cake batter would it be too liquid-y?

This is not a review yet, but a comment and a thank you to all that contribute here! Many mentioned using root beer and Dr. Pepper in chocolate boxed cake. My recipes from the 80's used a coke in chocolate or fudge cake mix--they always came out so dry that I never used the recipe again. I'm so glad for to see this recipe today and your helpful ideas! I LOVE root beer flavor and look forward to making this recipe using R-B concentrate with the white or yellow cake mix. Also I'm thinking about using root beer (Barq's!) to enhance the flavor of Spice Cake mix too.

This was a very good cake but I also added root beer concentrate. Not extract - you can find the concentrate at WalMart.

I used 1-1\/4 cups A & W root beer in the cake. I used a can of whipped fluffy white icing and added just enough root beer to make the icing spreadable, yet not runny!

I love root beer and was so excited to try this recipe. However, I disappointed because I followed the recipe exactly, but it did not taste like root beer AT ALL. Only after I told everyone that it was supposed to be root beer flavored, they said, "Oh yeah, I THINK I can taste a little bit of root beer."<\/p>

The "frosting" did taste a little bit like the foam of a root beer float when I first made it. However, after several hours in the refrigerator when I ate another piece, it had lost that flavor, too.<\/p>

Also, I did need to use both envelopes of the Dream Whip in order to cover the top of the cake.<\/p>

Although it did not taste like root beer, it was a very good tasting PLAIN cake...very moist.<\/p>

So I would probably make it again as a regular cake, but definitely would not call it a root beer float cake.<\/p>

If I added more root beer to the cake batter would it be too liquid-y? I really would love to find a recipe that actually does tase like root beer cake.<\/p>","CommentId":29,"DateRated":"04\/10\/2013 10:20","GUID":"983eac4ff06a47f3b61602ca43d6b763","MemberId":7219822,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"Jennie78","SubmittedDate":"04\/10\/2013 10:20"},{"Comment":"
