6 Reviews of Dr. Pepper Cake

I used old fashioned pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper, available only in Texas. I also only used a half a box of powdered sugar in the frosting. Great cake. I prefer coconut but had a guest request this cake and boy did they love it. I chose pecans as the nut in the frosting.

I loved the flavor of the cake!!! It was soooooo good. The frosting was a little too sweet for me, so I think next time I will just make the cake and eat it as is. Thanks so much for sharing!

I really couldn't taste the Dr. Pepper in the cake, but I could taste the cinnamon. It is a very good and moist cake. But my family just thought it was okay. Different tastes, thanks for posting.

I've been making this for years and love the uniqueness of it compared to coke/7-up cake. Believe it or not, the recipe I have also includes mini-marshmallows in the batter, just in case there wasn't enough sugar, lol. The frosting is very sweet and oftentimes I just sift powdered sugar over it or make half a recipe of the frosting, heat it and drizzle like a glaze to get a touch of extra flavor without the gooey sweetness. :o)

I made this cake into 24 cupcakes for a birthday party we were hosting. The cake was very rich, chocolatey and delicious. I found the frosting to be a bit sweet, but it was still very tasty. I couldn't really taste the Dr Pepper clearly, but the cake had a definite punch of spice to it, which I can only assume came from the Dr Pepper. These cure a chocolate fix, that's for sure! We'll be making these again. Thank you!

My son, who requested this cake for his birthday, loved it. It wasn't my favorite cake and I think that was the feeling of the majority. It wasn't terrible but it has an odd flavour. To be fair I don't like the taste of Dr. Pepper so shouldn't be surprised that it wasn't for me. On the positive side it was lovely and moist and rose nicely. Most important of all, my son loved it!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
