Do yourself a flavorful favor - mix this up and SWOON...... From Root Beer Book by Laura Quarantiello
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup root beer
1 cup margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon 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.
