This my favorite ice cream float!! Cool summer cupcake to make …

Cake Recipe:
1 boxed white cake mix
3 egg whites
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups root beer
Brown food coloring (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, egg whites and root beer until ingredients are moistened. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add brown food coloring, if desired, to enhance the brown color.

Pour batter into cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until done.

Cool cupcakes and frost.

For frosting:
1 stick unsalted butter (room temp)
4 oz lowfat cream cheese (room temp)
2/3 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups of good quality vanilla ice cream

Mix butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with electric mixer until light and fluffy.

Frost the cupcakes with a layer of fluffy icing. Using a melon baller scoop 2 small scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of the cupcake. Add little straws for decoration.
