Root Beer Float Cupcakes


Frothy and filling. These root beer float cupcakes are so smooth you'll want to drink them up. A great cupcake recipe for your party.

 

 root beer float cupcake

Items Needed:
White cake mix
Root Beer Extract
1 recipe Root Beer Glaze
1 recipe Cream Frosting

Directions:

  1. Make cupcakes as directed on box, except add 2 Tbsp. root beer extract to batter. 
  2. When cupcakes are cool spread a little Root Beer Glaze on top of each, then add a dollup of the Cream Frosting.
  3. Keep refrigerated until serving. But don't wait too long. They're too yummy to wait.

 
Tips:

  • To make full cupcakes, instead of flat ones, either use a Duncan Hines cake mix or fill the cups more full and make 18-22 cupcakes instead of 24.
  • You may want to prepare the cupcakes with the glaze, but reserve adding the cream frosting until just before serving.


Root Beer Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ Tbsp. milk

½ tsp. root beer extract
Combine all ingredients and mix and mix until smooth.


Cream Frosting 
1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
4 oz. cream cheese
1 cup confectioners' sugar
