Dr. Pepper Chocolate Cake!

Susan is back with her rendition of a Dr. Pepper Chocolate Cake!

I am enjoying the company of my family this week. My son and daughter-in-law are home from Italy and we are spending as much time together as a family as possible.

Therefore, I am re-posting a recipe today.  Hope you don’t mind.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 cup Dr. Pepper
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (I am adding in the extra)
  • 1 tsp almond extract

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

  • About 2/3 bag of powdered sugar (not a box) How much is that?
  • 1 stick real butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup of cocoa
  • Enough milk for right consistency…roughly 1/4 cup
  • 2 tsp. vanilla (this is also a rough estimate because I pour)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Sift flour, sugars, cocoa and baking soda into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Pour Dr. Pepper into sauce pan and add chocolate chips. Heat on low, stirring until the chips are just melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Combine eggs, buttermilk, oil, vanilla and almond extract in mixing bowl and beat on medium for 2 minutes. Gradually add chocolate/Dr. Pepper mixture while mixer is running and beat for another minute. Gradually add the flour/sugar mixture.
  5. Divide into either two or three pans. I am into frosting, so I like three thinner layers. If you do this, make sure you alter your cooking time. For two layers, it calls for a cooking time of 30-35 minutes but with three layers, I think it only cooked for about 22 minutes. I always set the timer for less time and check it so that I can take it out AS SOON AS POSSIBLE for optimum moisture.
  6. Freeze the layers before icing..

Hi, my name is Susan and for the most part, I love cooking, watching the Food Network, reading cookbooks and, of course, eating. I am also an artist and spend time each week in my studio (bedroom) oil painting. I am a mother of four and a grandmother to 5 and that, along with my husband and 2 dogs, take up my most of my time. I am a side-tracked Home Executive and I had the privilege of being a stay –at-home mom so, you might say that my passion is the home and making a haven for those I love. I am quite skilled at shopping 🙂 and finding a bargain just makes my day.
