Instructions
Cake
Cream butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the root beer syrup and blend well. Add eggs one at a time, blending fully between each egg.
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk into the butter mixture, in approximately three separate parts. Mix until the batter is just mixed.
Split the batter into prepared cake tins (2 or 3, 9" cake rounds) and bake at 350ºF/175ºC until toothpick comes out clean (18-20 minutes if split into 3 tins, 22-25 minutes if split into 2 tins). Let cool 5 minutes, then remove from tins and allow to cool fully.
Frosting
Beat butter until pale and fluffy. Add 1 cup of icing sugar, vanilla and salt and beat well. Add remaining icing sugar, mixing until mostly mixed. Will be dry. Add boiling water one tablespoon at a time, mixing in between additions. Add the root beer syrup and mix well. Once mixed, turn the speed up to high and beat until smooth and fluffy.
Frost the cake, adding a generous amount of frosting between each layer of cake.
