Dr Pepper Cake
Say hello to the Dr Pepper Cake that tastes like a soda-shop throwback. Warm fudge and even more Dr Pepper soak into a chocolate poke cake, then a cherry frosting and drizzle finish it off. It’s easy, a little outrageous, and the pan comes back empty every time.

Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- Step 2
Grease a 9"x13" baking dish and set aside.
- Step 3
Combine cake mix and the 12 ounce can of Dr Pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Step 4
Pour the batter into the pan.
- Step 5
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is cooking, combine the hot fudge and ½ cup of Dr Pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Step 7
Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Step 8
After letting the cake cool for 10 minutes, poke the holes in a neat grid and stop just shy of the bottom so slices hold together.
- Step 9
Pour the hot fudge mixture into the holes, reserving a small amount of the hot fudge mixture for drizzling.
Frosting
- Step 10
Beat butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and Maraschino cherry juice together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
