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.

Ingredients

1 box - Chocolate Cake Mix
1 can - Dr Pepper
1 jar - Hot Fudge
½ cups - Dr Pepper
1 cup - Unsalted Butter
2 ½ cups - Powdered Sugar
1 tsp - Vanilla extract
2 tablespoons - Maraschino Cherry Juice
Maraschino Cherries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉.
Grease a 9"x13" baking dish and set aside.
Combine cake mix and the 12 ounce can of Dr Pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
Pour the batter into the pan.
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.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
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.
Pour the hot fudge mixture into the holes, reserving a small amount of the hot fudge mixture for drizzling.
Beat butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and Maraschino cherry juice together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer.
Spread the frosting on the cooled cake and decorate it with Maraschino cherries and hot fudge drizzle.
