• 1 package German chocolate cake mix, regular size
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 large eggs
• 1 can (12 ounces) Dr Pepper
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 container (12 ounces) whipped cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup baking cocoa

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Line bottoms of three greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake and pudding mixes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in Dr Pepper and vanilla.
3. Transfer batter to prepared pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
4. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in cocoa. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy.
5. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2 cup frosting. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting.
