Directions:
For cake:
Preheat oven to 350° F and grease or spray with cooking spray a 13x9x2 baking pan.

Begin by combining the Dr. Pepper, oil, butter and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. When it comes to a simmer, mix well and turn stove off.

Mix dry ingredients together (sugar, flour and baking soda), add to mixture in saucepan and mix well, by hand. Don’t over beat. DO NOT OVER BEAT.

In a separate small bowl lightly beat the eggs and buttermilk together, then add them to the saucepan and combine batter well by hand, but again, do not over beat.

Pour into a greased baking pan and bake at 350° for approximately. 23-28 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake.

For frosting:
In a saucepan, combine butter, cocoa powder and milk together over medium heat, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time, combining after each addition until smooth.

Pour over warm cake
