It is called a Cherry Dump Cake HERE and it is so YUMMY, especially served hot with vanilla bean ice cream! YUM! Can you see an ice cream theme here? LOL As a crazy busy mama of 4, these easy throw together desserts make our once a week dessert after dinner extra special with little extra time and no stress on my end.

Ok back to the easy and delicious Root Beer Float Cake. I mean, look at how scrumptious this cake looks, and you could even add a maraschino cherry to the top!

As mentioned above, the only thing it might be missing is that little extra cherry on top for garnish!

Ok, here is how I put this Root Beer Float Cake together.

Ingredients: Root Beer Float Cake

13.25 oz yellow cake mix
12 oz root beer – I used sugar free
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Instructions: Root Beer Float Cake

Preheat oven to 350
In a medium size bowl, add dry cake mix, can of root beer and mix well

I love these bowls pictured BELOW because they are a non slip bowl perfect for preparing all meals and desserts in the kitchen.

Once mixed well, add 1 pint of vanilla ice cream

and combine well in batter until it makes thick batter. There may be some clumps and that is ok

Once all ingredients are combined well add to a well greased 9X13 pan

Bake in oven for 25 minutes until toothpick comes out clean

Allow cake to cool and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Now it is time to enjoy- YUMMY!!

Side Idea:

Clearly this is a stand alone dessert, but if you are looking for a delicious meal to go with it check out this perfect family friendly and affordable TACO PASTA HERE its only 4 ingredients and will undoubtedly be a family favorite.

Crazy Busy Mama Tip:

You can use diet root beer like I did in this recipe or you can add a regular root beer too. You could even add a maraschino cherry on top to give it that root beer float look! And if you love this in a 9X13 style dish think of the possibilities with it for cupcakes! How fun right ?
