Growing up we loved drinking them on porch after dinner. It’s amazing how two simple ingredients root beer and ice cream combine to make something extraordinary. I think that holds true with these cupcakes as well.

Ingredients
  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix
  • 3 Large eggs
  • ¼ C Water
  • ½ C Milk
  • ½ C Vegetable oil
  • ½ C Sour cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp Root Beer Extract
Icing Ingredients:
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
For the cupcakes:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined.
  3. Line a muffin tin with cupcake papers. Fill each around ⅔ full.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cupcakes are done when a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool in pan for 3-5 minutes. Then cool completely on a wire rack.
For the Icing:
  1. Chill a medium mixing bowl and mixer beaters.
    **No Mixer?**
  2. No problem! All you need is a chilled whisk and some elbow grease (aka muscles).
  3. Combine all icing ingredients. Mix until stiff peaks form.
  4. Spread or pipe onto your cupcakes. Top with a maraschino cherry if desired.
