Make this moist Dr Pepper cake using the soda for a unique, spiced cherry flavor. This easy soda cake recipe requires minimal effort for a delicious result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup Dr Pepper soda, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons Dr Pepper soda (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 1 cup of room temperature Dr Pepper, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix the ingredients on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the cake cools slightly, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of Dr Pepper, and corn syrup until smooth.
  7. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the warm cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Using room temperature soda helps the cake batter mix more evenly and results in a lighter texture.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute the chocolate cake mix with a spice or devil’s food cake mix.
  • This cake pairs well with a simple cream cheese frosting instead of the glaze if you prefer a sweeter topping.
