I'm making something I've wanted to make for years: a root beer cake. The batter turned out great. Now for the frosting: classic vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting?

Some comments from Facebook...

tough call because i love cream cheese with everything, but my instinct is vanilla with root beer

Jake Baker-Brown

VANILLA!

Vanilla. Like a root beer float. Who puts cream cheese in a root beer float??

As I was typing this, I had kind of made up my mind that vanilla buttercream was the way to go. So I'm glad everyone here is in the same line of thinking.

Vanilla. But I have strong feelings about French Buttercream over swiss. It would be more ice-cream-y too.

Renee Kent

That's good to know. I will go French buttercream.

Keith Marran

By that I mean whole egg vs whites. Cooks calls it classic buttercream.

Can we eat this cake?

Sam Kinsman

Yes. It's one of those cakes that's made to eat.
