[Toasted Sesame Root Beer Cake]

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 12-cup Bundt pan. Sprinkle evenly with 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame Seed. Pour 1/3 cup root beer from 1 bottle (12 oz.) micro-brewed root beer into small saucepan. Set aside.

Prepare 1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix as directed on package using remaining root beer in place of the water and adding 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame Seed to the batter. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Invert cake onto wire rack. Cool completely.

Meanwhile, bring root beer in saucepan to boil on high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 4 to 5 minutes or until reduced by half (2 to 3 tbsp.). Cool to room temperature. Mix 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and 4 to 5 tsp. of the reduced root beer until glaze is of desired consistency. Immediately drizzle over cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set. Cover.
