Taste is nice - I made it exactly as said. Can of soda measured out to 12 oz. kept 3 tablespoons out for the glaze and used the rest in the cake mix. The only thing I would do different would be to check it at 30 mins. 35 mins was a little too much. Somewhere in between would be great. Make sure your cake is real cool before you put the glaze on ... We would have liked more glaze ... will try that next time. DH loves icing.

Well, it tasted ok. I made it exactly as said, checked it many times since it was my first time making it. When I took it out, it looked beautiful, left it on the rack fo 15 minutes to cool as it said. When I came back, it had shrunk to half it's size! The inside was very spongey, even though when I put a tester in it, it came out clean, or with crumbs on it, not batter. Very strange. This recipe calls for one and one half cups of root beer, other recipe almost the same call for a 12 ounce can. I wonder if this had too much soda.
