Ingredients:
1 box super moist chocolate fudge cake mix (dry),
12 ounces Dr Pepper Cherry (room temperature),
18 ounces maraschino cherries (divided),
1 cup salted butter,
7 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13x2 baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and soda, whisk until combined, and set aside. Remove 24 cherries from the jar, remove stems, and cut cherries into fourths. Add cut cherries to the cake batter, whisking again until combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth with a spatula. Place the cake in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Meanwhile, add butter to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or use a hand mixer. Beat butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time, until incorporated, beating between each addition. Add 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) maraschino cherry juice from the jar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy. Frost the cake with all of the icing and garnish with remaining cherries.
