(Sorry for the less than stellar pictures this time, I was rushing to take them before my friends pounced on the cake.)
This is one of my favorite cakes. The recipe comes from the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que in Syracuse, New York. I've never been there, but my parents went and said it was fabulous! My mom picked up a cookbook, and this was the first recipe that caught my eye, so I made it.
The batter comes out very liquidy, but it bakes into a lovely, moist chocolate cake with just a hint of cherry flavor from the Dr. Pepper. Delicious! The frosting is fluffy, and in my experience the recipe makes more than you would want to use. I always have some leftover, even after putting a pretty thick layer in the middle and on the sides and top. I grated a little bit of bittersweet and white chocolate onto the top to decorate a little. Everyone loved the cake.

This is such a great cake! Plus, it's fun to tell people it's made with Dr. Pepper.
If you get a chance, you should try the silky chocolate frosting made with flour. It sounds strange, but it's really good. Happy T-Day!
