Root Beer Bundt - Day #11 of I Like Big Bundts

Root Beer Bundt

It's Day #11 of I Like Big Bundts...the Food Librarian's quest to present 30 bundts in 30 days! Did you know that November 15th is National Bundt Day? I cannot lie...I like Big Bundts and encourage you to make a Bundt on November 15th...or anytime!

When I fly, I always get Ginger Ale on the plane. I think it makes me feel grown up.

When I'm in front of a vending machine and they have Squirt, my quarters quickly get thrown into the machine. That citrus goodness is one of my favorites.

But, if they have root beer, I'm there.

This Root Beer Bundt is from the Baked cookbook (original cookbook). It has been made a lot (just google it) and it is worth making. The cake is soft and moist, and the frosting is smooth and yummy.

Thanks to my friend JustJenn for making this logo and for her support! ;)

Using a 12-cup Nordic Ware classic Bundt pan, this makes a pretty darn good looking Bundt! :)

The frosting is easy to throw together - you mix it in the your food processor. I don't like frosting (I know some of you are horrified by this :) so I only made 1/2 the frosting. It is mainly because I was running low on cocoa powder, but I think 1/2 the frosting was enough. But don't listen to me, I would have eaten it plain.

The root beer flavor is pretty subtle. There is more chocolate flavor. I wish I had added some root beer extract to boost up the flavor a bit.

Make it a Root Beer Bundt Float by serving this with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

See you back here tomorrow for (hopefully) another Bundt! (I'm flying back to Los Angeles on Wednesday, and hope my little plane isn't delayed or anything.) - mary the food librarian
