Dr, Pepper Cake

There are a few things not very common in Australia, Like, dryer sheets, driving on the right side of the road, and Dr, Pepper soda. You can find coke, pepsi, sprite and many other we all know very well. The Dr. Pepper, You'll find hidden away in the back isle next to imported foods at a sad price of approx 3$ a can. My Bf a very big fan of it and had received a case of it for his birthday. I figured I make something tasty to go with his favourite drink.The recipe is easy enough and I imagine the Dr.P can be switched out for another soda of your choice as long as it blends with chocolate.
