CHERRY DR. PEPPER CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

1 (15.25 ounce) box super moist chocolate fudge cake mix (dry)
12 ounces Dr. Pepper Cherry (room temperature)
1 (18 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, divided
2 (1 cup) sticks salted butter (room temperature)
7 cups powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine cake mix and soda. Whisk until combined. Set aside.

Remove 24 cherries from the jar, remove stems and cut cherries into fourths. Add cut cherries to cake batter. Whisk again until combined.

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan. Smooth with a spatula so the cake is even.

Place the cake in the center of the oven and bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
