Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups Dr Pepper Cherry soda
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 10 whole maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, vegetable oil, Dr Pepper Cherry soda, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth and well combined (do not overmix).
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the batter. They will float on top during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of Dr Pepper Cherry soda until smooth.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
Optionally, garnish the cake with whole maraschino cherries for a festive touch.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Dr Pepper Cherry Marshmallow Cake!
