Root Beer Cake

So, I've had this recipe for root beer cake since June of 2008.......2 years later, I pull that sucka out & the boys are on board to cook it up. We assemble all ingredients and get to work. Actually, Connor didn't do much work. He was more like, back up support - yeah that's it. The cake turned out pretty darn good. Actually it was much tastier than I thought a root beer cake with root beer frosting would be. Below is the recipe so you, too, can make the cake.

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 eggs

1 tsp salt

2/3 cup root beer

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/8 tsp salt

4 cups powdered sugar

2 Tblsp milk

1/3 cup root beer, chilled
