Dr. Pepper Cake
I have been known to occasionally host The Unofficial Apple Weblog Talkcast, and with that comes the Aftershow, jokingly/lovingly referred to as TUAWTF. It is never recorded and gets a bit random. One night somehow the conversation warranted a mention of Dr Pepper cake, so I mentioned it. Nobody knew what I was talking about, so I outlined the recipe. One of the regulars who I feel compelled to point out, NEVER BAKED ANYTHING EVER before, managed this recipe not only with success, but with yummy success. Here is the recipe:

2. Add a 12oz can of Dr Pepper.
3. Mix well and bake according to box.
4. NOM!

Here are some of the resulting noms:

So that is the history of the Dr Pepper Cake.
