1 stick unsalted butter (8 Tbsp.)
4 Tbsp. cocoa powder
1 1/4 C. sugar

1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 C. buttermilk

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9 pan and set aside. Combine in a large saucepan, dr. pepper, oil, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, mix well, and remove from heat. Add sugar, flour, and baking soda and mix well. In a seperate bowl, beat the eggs and buttermilk together, add a small amount of the hot batter to the egg mixture (a couple tablespoons) and mix well. Add the egg mixture to the batter and mix well.
Pour into greased pan and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze.
