Root Beer Float Cupcakes Recipe

Root beer flavored cupcakes topped with sweetened whipped cream.

One of my favorite summer flavors is the classic root beer float.

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.
