So every afternoon I have a STRONG craving for chocolate. I was surfing the internet and came across the weight watchers recipe for diet coke cake. Well, I didn't have any diet coke, but had a lot of root beer left over from Dave's birthday. So I used that instead...and can I say it is the best cake I've possibly ever had. But it wasn't enough so I had to make some root beer icing to bring out the flavor. YUMM!
Root Beer Cake:
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can (12oz) root beer
Blend well, cook according to directions. (No, you don't need to use eggs or oil)
Rootbeer Icing
(this was enough for a light layer on a 9x13)
1c. powdered sugar
2T butter
2T milk
1/2-1t root beer concentrate (to desired taste)
Allow cake to cool, then spoon on icing. ENJOY!
(I ate too much before i thought about blogging it, so i stole this picture from www.realmomkitchen.blogspot.com)

Oh man, yum! I had an evening chocolate craving when I was pregnant with Tyler...had to have it EVERY night after dinner. Now guess who's my chocoholic?!
This root beer twist sounds awesome...I so have to try it!
Did the recipe happen to have the points value included?
What is root beer concentrate? Do you have to stare at it for a long time?
