Root Beer Cake

Here's a cake that will remind you of a summer

root beer float.

I couldn't find the spice cake mix I usually use, 

so I added cinnamon spice blend to a yellow cake mix.

 I used 2 t cinnamon spice blend, 

(like a pumpkin or apple pie spice mix.)

 Mine was from Pampered Chef.

You can mix your own. Use about

 1-1/2 t cinnamon and 1/4 t each nutmeg, ginger, clove or allspice.

 Use 1/1/4 C root beer in place of the water. 

Add 1 t rum extract.

If you don't have rum extract use vanilla extract 

or 1 T rum.

Combine all the ingredients and beat 

as per the directions on the box.

 Pour into a sprayed bundt pan.

 Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350.

 Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes then invert onto a cake plate.

 It comes out easily.

Dust with powdered sugar....or

Make a glaze with 

2 C powdered sugar and 3 T root beer.

 Drizzle on cooled cake.

 My cake was still a tiny bit warm.

 Because somebody wanted a slice!

I stored the rest in my cute as a daisy vintage cake tin.

Eat Cake!!
