Author Laura

Ingredients

  • 1 cup root beer soda
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup canola oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp root beer extract also known as root beet concentrate
  • 1 ⅓ cup flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of Salt

Instructions

  • Combine the soda and vinegar and let stand for a few minutes.
  • Add in the sugar and oil, whisking vigorously until slightly frothy.
  • Integrate your extracts, and gently introduce the flour, along with the baking powder / soda, and salt, being careful not to over mix. (I just used a whisk to quickly mix the batter and get rid of any flour lumps. Don't be alarmed by how runny the batter is. I was able to pour it into the muffin tins. It is the consistency of thin pancake batter)
  • Fill cupcake liners approximately 3/4 of the way to the top.
  • Bake at 350 F for about 18 - 22 minutes. makes 12 cupcakes

Notes

I made the frosting from Bittersweet's site, but did not like it. It didn't compliment the cupcake. I think the frosting found with my root beer cookies would have been perfect.
