Recipe



The Cake

Heat, but do not boil, the 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of Dr Pepper until the butter melts.

Sift together the 2 cups of flour, 1/2 tablespoon of salt, 2 cups of sugar, 4 tablespoons of cocoa, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon together to form the dry mixture.

Beat the 2 eggs and then combine and blend them with the 1/2 cup of buttermilk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1 teaspoon of soda to make the egg mixture.

Add the hot Dr Pepper mixture to the dry mixture and blend well. Mix in the egg mixture and then pour into a sheet cake pan 15 1/2" x 10 1/2x1". Bake at 350° for 25 minutes. Begin work on the frosting around 5 minutes before the cake is done.


The Frosting

Heat, but do not boil, the 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup of Dr Pepper, and 3 tablespoons of cocoa. Blend in 2 1/2 to 3 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.

Spread the frosting evenly over the cake immediately when it has been removed from oven.
