Chocolate and root beer join together for this easy and scrumptious 4-ingredient CHOCOLATE ROOT BEER CAKE dessert.
I love making my kids root beer floats and their new favorite is a chocolate root beer float, so I decided it would be fun to turn their new favorite ice cream drink into a scrumptious 4-ingredient cake for a quick dessert. My kids love helping in the kitchen, so keeping this recipe easy was a must.
In fact, my 11 year old daughter made it all by herself and then helped make supper which was amazing and left us plenty of time for family game night. We play a very competitive couple rounds of Chicken Foot every couple weeks!
Finding a good gluten free cake mix is hard, but luckily Pillsbury™ has a whole line of delicious gluten free mixes…from cakes to cookies to brownies to frosting. And while most aren’t dairy free, they are perfect for anyone avoiding wheat or gluten.
I’ve found Walmart or Amazon to have the best prices on these mixes so I tend to stock up. The prices on these mixes are usually lower than my grocery store’s so I do tend to pick up a few for quick and easy recipes, like my Chocolate Root Beer Cake.
