Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with baking spray with flour.

2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, root beer, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.

3. Bake 28 to 36 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

4. Stir root beer concentrate into frosting. Spread over cake. Just before serving, sprinkle with crushed candies. (Candies will begin to melt if sprinkled on frosting for longer than 1 to 3 hours.)





For maximum cake height, keep baking spray off the sides of the pan. The cake will climb the sides of the pan better.

For a fun soda fountain touch, insert half of a plastic straw into each piece of cake.
