I was pretty dissapointed with the cake. It didn't taste at all like Dr. Pepper!!! Just chocolate cake with chocolate icing. It made a good CHOCOLATE cake, but now I have a bunch of Dr. Pepper left over...

Dr. Pepper cake is supposed to taste like chocolate. Sorry you didn't like it because it didn't taste like Dr. Pepper, but it isn't supposed to. This is one of my all time favorite cakes. When I want chocolate cake, this is the one I make!!! It tastes so much better than a regular chocolate cake!

To make the cake taste more like Dr. Pepper, I suggest adding prunes to the recipe (cooked and mashed -- substitute 1/2 cup prunes for 1/2 cup butter OR 1 cup mashed prunes for 1 cup sugar). Just an idea, I've not tried it.

This is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. My husband doesn't even like cake but he loved this one. It was moist and delicious. DR. PEPPER cake will be a must if anyone wants a chocolate cake in my house from now on.

This cake was by far the best chocolate cake ever I wanted this cake every since I went to Cotton Patch and got a taste of their Dr.Pepper cake and this is just as good as their cake. Very well done to whomever came up with these ingredients and certain measurements. I'm hooked!!

I made this, the cake is incredibly moist but I cannot put my finger on it but for some reason the cake almost tastes floral to me. Has anybody else experienced that?
