Ingredients

1 package German chocolate cake mix (regular size)

1 package (3.4 ounces) cook-and-serve chocolate pudding mix

4 large eggs, room temperature

1 can (12 ounces) Dr Pepper

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FROSTING:

1 container (12 ounces) whipped cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup baking cocoa

3-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottoms of 3 greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment; grease paper.

2 In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in Dr Pepper and vanilla.

3 Transfer batter to prepared pans. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, 20-25 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.

4 For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in cocoa. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy.
