Cherry Dr.
Pepper Layer Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry Dr. Pepper
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 stick butter, cubed
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- Cherry Dr. Pepper Frosting (recipe follows)
- 9 stemmed maraschino cherries for garnish
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2,
9" cake pans.
2.
In a small saucepan, heat Cherry Dr. Pepper,
cocoa powder, and butter over medium heat until butter is melted. Add sugars
and whisk until dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.
3.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and
salt together.
4.
In a small bowl, beat eggs, then whisk them into
the cooled cocoa mixture until combined.
5.
Gently fold the cocoa mixture into the cocoa
mixture until all large lumps are removed. (The batter will still be slightly
lumpy. Do not over mix as this will cause the cake to be tough.)
6.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake
for 25 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted in the center of
the cakes.
7.
Cool cakes in the pans for 10 minutes. Then,
loosen the sides of the cakes from the pans and turn out onto cooling racks for
another 10 minutes.
8.
Frost with Cherry Dr. Pepper Frosting (recipe
follows).
9.
Evenly space 8 stemmed maraschino cherries
around the edge of the cake for garnish. Place the final maraschino cherry in
the center of the cake.
10.
Refrigerate cake.
