Dr Pepper Cake Recipe - Glen And Friends Cooking - How To Make Dr Pepper Cake
This is the easiest Dr Pepper chocolate cake recipe you'll ever make. The dense, moist, rich, chocolate flavour is accompanied by a simple chocolate icing. We based this Dr. Pepper cake recipe on our buttermilk chocolate cake recipe, and it's a real winner. We used Dr. Pepper in this cake, but any soda pop could be used in this soda pop cake recipe.

Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) Dr Pepper / Coke / Pepsi / Root Beer
250 mL (1 cup) white sugar
125 mL (½ cup) brown sugar
115g (4 ounces) bittersweet chocolate 70%
115g (125 mL / ½ cup) butter
500 mL (280g / 2 cups) all-purpose flour
10 mL (2 tsp) baking soda
5 mL (1 tsp) baking powder
5 mL (1 tsp) coarse salt
250 mL (1 cup) buttermilk
2 eggs
5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
15 mL (1 Tbsp) chocolate liqueur (optional)

Icing:
115g (4 ounces) bittersweet chocolate 70%
250 mL (1 cup) butter
Pinch salt
60 mL (¼ cup) Dr Pepper
5 mL (1 tsp) pure vanilla extract
15 mL (1 Tbsp) chocolate liqueur (Optional)
4 cups powdered sugar - approximate



Method:
Preheat the oven to 190ºC (375°F).
Put the pop, sugars, chocolate, and butter in a saucepan.
Stir over medium heat until fully melted and blended.
Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk, vanilla, and chocolate liqueur.
Grease, flour and line 2 - 9" cake pans with parchment.
Whisk the milk mixture and eggs into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture.
Whisk in the dry ingredients, in 2-3 additions.
Divide the batter between the pans and bake about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely, then remove from the pans and cool on a rack.
Meanwhile, make the icing.
Using your preferred method - melt the chocolate, then let cool almost to room temperature.
Cream the butter, and add in about ¼ of the icing sugar.
Whisk in the melted chocolate, vanilla, liqueur and salt.
Slowly whisk in just enough icing sugar to stiffen and attain desired sweetness.
Ice as a layer cake.
