This recipe is seriously amazing!! The addition of Dr Pepper Soda makes the cake so ultra moist and flavorful.  I really like this recipe because it is very rich!

So I can have 1/2 a serving and get my sweet tooth fix and not feel bad about the portion!
Serve topped with ice cream!

    Looks delicious! If I can’t find cherry Dr Pepper, can I mix maraschino cherry juice with Dr Pepper?
