Ingredients
  • 2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Root beer
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Powdered sugar
  • 8 scoop Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the root beer and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  8. Cut the cake into slices and serve each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dollop of whipped cream.
