I finally decided to make these and was very disappointed with the results. I used cake flour as the previous commenter suggested, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. They did not turn out well at all. They overflowed and then sunk in the center. The flavor of the cake was not “root-beery” enough, but otherwise tasted ok. I haven’t made the frosting yet, but am trying to decide whether to dump these or turn them into a root beer float trifle as this was supposed to be our Easter dessert and I don’t have a backup plan. :/

I used cake flour instead of all purpose flour and these cupcakes were absolutely divine! They were so light, so delicious that they were all eaten up! I will definitely make these a regular part of my desserts!

The whipped cream stabilizer is used because its not a “frosting”. Its really root beer flavored whipped cream. Keeps it from turning into soup when its above fridge temperature.

The stabilizer is to keep the whipped cream from melting off of the cupcakes and also from separating. Feel free to not use the stabilizer!

This look great! I just tried a root beer cookie recipe from Betty Crocker, and now I’ll have to try these since I already have the root beer extract!

What is the purpose of the whipped-cream stabilizer? I could swear I’ve made cream icings before … but I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a stabilizing element needed. Is it strictly necessary here?
