I am not a big fan of root beer. This chocolate cake has changed my mind. I made it for my husband (who is a fan of root beer) and we both were very surprised by the great flavor.
You will need:
1 stick unsalted butters
2 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 cups root beer
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
3 large egg, beaten
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pam baking spray
Preheat oven to 325. Heat 2 cups root beer, the cocoa powder, chocolate and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool. Combine flour, baking soda, allspice and salt in a bowl. Whisk the eggs into the root beer mixture, then gently fold into the dry ingredients. The batter will be lumpy. Pour the batter into a bundt pan that has been sprayed with the Pam. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. Leaving cake in pan place on a cooling rack. Gently poke the cake all over with a skewer and pour 1/4 cake root beer over the cake; let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving plate and let cool completely. Meanwhile make the glaze: Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup root beer a pinch of salt and powdered sugar and vanilla a bowl until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.
