Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar, 1/2 cup butter, vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder, one teaspoon salt and 2/3 cup root beer in a large bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed; beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour into a greased and floured 8"x8" baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick tests clean.

Meanwhile, beat together remaining butter, remaining salt, powdered sugar and milk in a bowl. Add remaining root beer; beat to desired consistency. Spread frosting over cooled cake.
