Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup root beer
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Root beer for the float
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
- Maraschino cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Grease and flour a cake pan to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
- Combine the chocolate cake mix, root beer, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake according to the package instructions, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack to ensure that the whipped cream topping doesn’t melt when added.
- Top the cooled cake with whipped cream and drizzle chocolate syrup on top if desired. Serve each slice with a splash of root beer and finish with a maraschino cherry.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Ensure the cake cools completely before topping to avoid the whipped cream sliding off.
