I recently found this recipe and thought it was truly unique. Just a
little background: Dr. Pepper was created in Waco, Texas, and since then,
scores of Baylor students have been forcefed the stuff. Anyhow, hope ya
like it!!! Debbie Collin

Recipe By: Sandra Stoesser Wallace '59

Heat Dr. Pepper with margarine, but do not boil. Set aside. Sift together
flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cocoa. Beat together eggs, buttermilk,
vanilla, and baking soda. Add hot Dr. Pepper mixture to dry ingredients.
Stir in egg mixture, and blend well. Pour into greased and floured
15x10inch sheet cake pan. Bake at 350 deg. for 25 minutes.

For frosting: About 5 minutes before cake is done, heat Dr. Pepper,
margarine, and cocoa. Stir in powdered sugar, pecans, and vanilla. Spread
frosting on while cake is still hot.
