Here is a recipe I had in my collection. It is for Dr. Pepper cake but I am sure you could substitute the pop.

Dr. Pepper Cake

Cake:


1 cup margarine
1 cup Dr. Pepper
4 tablespoons cocoa

1/2 cup Dr. Pepper
1/4 cup margarine
3 tablespoons cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

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 15x10-inch sheet cake pan. Bake at 350 deg. for 25 minutes.

Thank you Ozark! But they are almost never for me... I bake them... I smell them... I get all giddy... then pack 'em up and send 'em out the door! LOL

Here's what I do with the left overs and broken pieces of biscotti.... They go off to someone else to love. Because my hips can't take anymore!!!!

Well, I only bake for family and friends LOL My dh always eats the end pieces and whatever he can get his hands on. This batch is for the Art Guild Open house this weekend. I will make several batches up for neighbors/family/friends for Christmas.

WOW! I have been out of touch for bit here. Took 6 days off at Thanksgiving and have been running crazy since. Husband is finally home after being gone 3 months

and we have been baking bread like crazy. Made a new one in the Dutch oven that was Apricot/Almond and boy was it good for toast in the morning with a nice hot cup of Joe. Also, made one that had Guinness Stout beer as the liquid and dusted with wheat bran. It was YUMMY too. Best part only took one cup of beer so had to drink the rest of the bottle LOL!!

Look like everyone has been baking up a storm as usual.
