Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup root beer
  • 1 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1/3 cup root beer
  • 1 (1 lb) box powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Directions:

  1. Mix the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. In a medium saucepan, slice the chilled margarine by tablespoon-chunks into the cup of root beer. Bring to a boil and add to the flour mixture, stirring well.
  2. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the milk, soda, vanilla, salt and eggs. Blend well and add to the flour mixture. Fold in the marshmallows. Turn batter into a well-greased or sprayed 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  3. Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 30 minutes.
  4. Boiled frosting: While cake is baking, cut 1 stick of margarine into 1/3 cup root beer in a medium saucepan.
  5. Bring to a boil and add 1 box of powdered sugar and 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans. Mix well and pour over the cake after it's removed from the oven, but while the cake's still hot.
