How to Make Irresistible Moist Dr Pepper Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan or rectangular baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend together the Dr Pepper, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let your cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake airy.
