Dr. Pepper Chocolate Cake

• FOR THE CAKE:
• 1-1/2 cup Dr. Pepper Soda
• 1/2 cups Vegetable Or Canola Oil
• 1 stick Butter, Salted (8 Tablespoons)
• 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (I Recommend Using A Dark Cocoa Powder)
• 2 cups Sugar
• 2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1/2 cups Buttermilk
• _____
• FOR THE FROSTING:
• 1 stick Butter, Salted (8 Tablespoons)
• 4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder (again, I Recommend Using A Dark Cocoa Powder)
• 8 Tablespoons Milk
• 4 cups Confectioners Sugar (Powdered Sugar)

1. Directions for the cake:
2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0 F and grease or spray with cooking spray a 13x9x2" baking pan.
3. Begin by combining the Dr. Pepper, oil, butter and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. When it comes to a simmer, mix well and turn the stove off.
4. Mix dry ingredients together (sugar, flour and baking soda); add to the mixture in the saucepan and mix well. Don't over beat.
5. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and buttermilk together, then add them to the saucepan and combine the batter well.
6. Pour into a greased baking pan and bake at 350u0b0 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake.
7. Directions for the chocolate frosting:
8. In a saucepan, combine butter, cocoa powder and milk together over medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.
9. Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time, combining after each addition until smooth.
10. Pour over the warm cake.
11. Lock all the doors, draw the shades, don't answer the phone and get the milk.
12. Enjoy!
