Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack., In a small bowl, combine the whipped topping mix and remaining root beer. Beat until soft peaks form. Frost cake. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Make the Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (9-inch) cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter; then add the sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy.
• Meanwhile, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the water and eggs to the butter mixture until blended. Mix in the root beer extract and vanilla. Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to form a smooth batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake until just set, about 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pans for 5 minutes, and then invert onto cooling racks to cool completely before frosting.
• Make the Frosting: In a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the confectioners' sugar and butter. Mix on low speed until well blended; then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes. Add the cream and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed for 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed to reach spreading consistency.
• To decorate the cake: Place 1 cooled cake layer on a cake stand, frost the top surface, and chill for 15 minutes (or freeze 5 minutes). Place the second cake layer on top, inverting it to create a flat top, and push down on it slightly. Frost the sides and top with a thin layer of frosting to hold in any crumbs (called a crumb layer), and chill 30 minutes or freeze 15 minutes.
• Apply a second layer of frosting to finish off the cake, swirling the frosting a bit. Place 12 elbow straws in the cake around the top, and place colored streamers around the edge of the cake flowing down to the base.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, 12 ounces root beer, oil and eggs until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Poke holes in the cake with a skewer at 2 inch intervals. Pour Root Beer Glaze evenly over cake.
• To make the Root Beer Glaze: combine the confectioners sugar and 3 tablespoons of root beer in a small bowl. Beat until smooth.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and gather ingredients.
• 2. Mix cake mix with 6 remaining ingredients.
• 3. Pour into a greased and floured Bundt cake pan.
• 4. Bake for 50 min.
• 5. Let cool.
• 6. FOR ICING: Bring water, white corn syrup, and sugar to a boil and cook until 235 or the sugar syrup threads. Begin to test the syrup at 225.
• 7. Take a spoonful of the syrup and dip the spoon in a bowl of cold water. Tip the spoon to see if it releases a thin thread of syrup. If it threads, it's ready to take off the heat. If it drips instead of threading it needs to boil a little more. You want the sugar syrup to spin a 6-8 inch thread.
• 8. As soon as the sugar syrup starts boiling, start beating egg whites on medium speed. When the syrup threads, remove it from the heat. Turn the mixer to high speed and pour a thin stream of the syrup into the beating egg whites.
• 9. Beat continually until frosting is stiff and glossy. Add vanilla and root beer concentrate.
• 10. Continue to beat until mixed well.
• 11. Spread on cooled cake.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Reserve 1 cup batter. Pour remaining batter into pan. Stir 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon into reserved batter.
• Drop spiced batter by generous tablespoonfuls randomly in 12 to 14 mounds onto batter in pan. Cut through batters with spatula or knife in S-shaped curves in one continuous motion. Turn pan one-fourth turn, and repeat cutting for swirled design.
• Bake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In chilled small bowl, beat all spiced whipped cream ingredients except crushed candies on high speed until soft peaks form. Spread over cake. Sprinkle each serving with crushed candies just before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• In a bowl, mix together root beer schnapps, root beer, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, mix until smooth.
• Sift in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• Mix with hand mixer on low, while slowly pouring in root beer mixture.
• Mix until smooth and lump free.
• Pour into lined cupcake pan. (Use foil cupcake liners to avoid leakage later.) Fill nearly to the top, you may think its over-filled, but it puffs up perfectly this way. Don't be tempted to use more than 24 cupcake cups.
• Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until golden brown and cake springs back when touched.
• While cupcakes are baking, prepare your butter cream and root beer glaze. For glaze, put all ingredients into a bowl and mix with a wisk until smooth and lump free.
• To assemble, start by letting cupcakes cool, still in the pan.
• While still slightly warm, pour 1 Tbs. of root beer schnapps over each cupcake. Pour on slowly to allow schnapps ( or regular root beer for the kiddies) to soak inches.
• Once the schnapps has soaked in and let sit for a few minutes, pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake.
• When the glaze sets up a bit and isn't too runny, put a "scoop" of buttercream atop each. For an added touch, you can even place a root beer barrel candy on each one.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350F (325 for dark or nonstick pan).
• Spray bottom only of 13 x 9-inch baking spray with flour. (For maximum cake height, keep baking spray off the sides of the pan. The cake will climb the sides of the pan better.

• Bake 28 to 36 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center come out clean.
• Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Stir root beer concentrate into frosting.
• Spread over cake just before serving, sprinkle with crushed candies.
