Ice cream isn't needed to capture the flavor of family-favorite floats! Just add root beer to white cake mix!
Updated Aug 16, 2011

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat cake mix, root beer, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
  • 3
    Bake 32 to 36 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour.
  • 4
    Stir root beer concentrate into frosting. Spread over cake. Just before serving, sprinkle with crushed candies. (Candies will begin to melt 1 to 3 hours after sprinkled on cake.) Store loosely covered.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For maximum cake height, keep baking spray off the sides of the pan. The cake will climb the sides of the pan better.
  • tip 2
    For a fun soda fountain touch, insert half of a plastic straw into each piece of cake.
