For the Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until combined.

Whisk

In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk in the Dr Pepper. Then, whisk in the Greek yogurt.

Mix

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric hand mixer until just combined.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and bake for 33-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.

Cream

Once the cake has cooled, make the frosting the frosting: cream the butter with an electric hand mixer until smooth.

Add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and mix to combine.

Mix

Add in the Dr Pepper, and mix again until the frosting reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.

Frost the cake in the pan or invert the cake onto a rack or flat surface. Then, frost.
