When Sue announced this theme, I went into our liquor cabinet. In addition to liquor we also store all of our mixers, syrups, garnishes, etc. in this cupboard. I found some green apple syrup, some mango syrup, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup and waaaaaaay in the back was this bottle of Root Beer syrup.
Our son in law, Pierre, is a root beer fan and I think Frank bought this to create a drink for him. It never got opened. I decided to rectify that for this event.
I flavored the cake batter with the syrup and a little ginger. I took it easy on the sugar to adjust for the sweetness of the syrup.
I brought along some ice cream for serving. We were all amazed at how delicious this cake turned out. It was full of root beer flavor and remeniscent of a root beer float.

Love that beautiful birthday, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sneha.
DeleteWhen I saw your title, I thought maybe you'd be making a reduction out of pop. I'd forgotten about the wide variety of coffee syrups. I have a lot but not the root beer. I'll have to grab some if I see it.
ReplyDeleteIt makes a great cake.
DeleteLove that icing oozing over the sides! Gorgeous cake!
