This recipe calls for a duplication of baking powder . . . 1 teaspoon as well as 1/2 teaspoon. Should one of those amounts be for baking soda instead of baking powder?

Maybe it is me, however, I found these to be more buttery than rootbeer. You can actually buy rootbeer extract from watkins I believe if you want to make rootbeer cupcakes.
