Dr. Pepper Cake

 


Because it's my birthday today, 
and I love Dr. Pepper and I love chocolate, 
I had a great excuse for making this new cake recipe last night :)
The grandkids were sleeping over 
and agreed it would be a wonderful idea as well...
so it was unanimous! 
It was delicious and just what I needed to celebrate my 49th...
I hope you enjoy!





DR. PEPPER CAKE

 1 box chocolate cake mix 
1 box instant vanilla pudding 
5 eggs
1 1/2 cups butter
10oz. Dr. pepper 

Milk Chocolate Frosting or Dr pepper glaze: 
1 cup powdered sugar 
1tsp vanilla  
enough of the 2 oz of the left over Dr. pepper to make a nice glaze
(or you can use chocolate frosting like I did)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   
Grease a bundt pan. 
Mix the cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil & Dr. Pepper together.  
Pour into pan and bake 1 hour and 5 minutes, 
or until the cake tests done. 
After cake cools, glaze over the top or use milk chocolate frosting

Deliciousness just ready to happen...


I softened the butter a bit in the microwave...
added it to the cake mix, pudding mix...



Added the eggs...


the 10 oz of Dr. Pepper...



Pour the batter into your prepared pan...


I took my cake 65 minutes to test done...
I started checking at 60 minutes...


After a few minutes, I dumped it onto my plate...


I think the Dr. Pepper glaze would really be most yummy...
but..
because it's my Birthday and the fact that 
I simply adore chocolate frosting...
I decided to go that route...
It was an excellent decision :))
