LaPlace Frostop Homemade Root Beer Float Cupcake

2 1/2 cups LaPlace Frostop Homemade Root Beer 1 tsp. root beer extract 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 cups Domino brown sugar 1 cup butter, softened 2 eggs 3 cups all purpose flour 1 Tbs. baking powder 2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt

Root Beer Glaze

1/2 cup Domino confectioners’ sugar 3 tbsp LaPlace Frostop Homemade Root Beer Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Prepare cupcake pan with paper cups. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside. Cream together the butter and Domino brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture alternately with LaPlace Frostop Homemade Root Beer, beating well. Pour batter into cupcake pan, filling cups. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cupcakes in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to racks. Place a cookie sheet or towel under the racks. Make the glaze by mixing Domino confectioners’ sugar and LaPlace Homemade Root Beer until smooth. Right after you take the cupcakes out of the oven, pour one tablespoon of LaPlace Homemade Root Beer over each cupcake slowly. Allow root beer to soak in for a few minutes then pour a couple tablespoons of glaze over each cupcake while slightly warm. After the glaze sets up a bit, serve with a scoop of LaPlace Frostop soft serve vanilla or Kleinpeter vanilla ice cream.
