Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
For the Cake:
2 cups of root beer (not diet root beer)
1 cup of dark cocoa powder
1 stick unsalted butter, chopped into 1 inch cubes
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cups dark brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
Baked Note: If you can find root beer schnapps, substitute 1/2 cup of root beer with root beer schnapps. The root beer flavor will be more pronounced.
Frosting:
2 ounces of 60% chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)
4 oz unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup root beer
2/3 cup dark cocoa powder
2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously spray the inside of a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray; alternatively, butter it, dust with flour, and knock out the excess flour.
In a small saucepan, heat the root beer, cocoa powder, and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add the sugars and whisk until dissolved. Remove from the heat and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until just beaten, then whisk them into the cooled cocoa mixture until combined. Gently fold the flour mixture into the cocoa mixture. The batter will be slightly lumpy–do not overbeat, as it could cause the cake to be tough.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a small sharp knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Gently loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and turn it out onto a platter.
For the frosting: Put all the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse in short bursts until the frosting is shiny and smooth.
Use a spatula to spread the fudge frosting over the crown of the Bundt in a thick layer. Let the frosting set before serving, with the ice cream on the side.
