Let\u2019s get baking!<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Whisk Dry Ingredients:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 18 x 13-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Add all-purpose flour, granulated sugar,\u00a0baking soda, cinnamon, and\u00a0salt\u00a0to a large bowl and whisk to combine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heat Cocoa Mixture:<\/strong> In a medium saucepan, bring the unsalted butter, shortening, unsweetened cocoa powder, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/dr-pepper-soda-2-l-bottle\/-\/A-12965295#lnk=sametab\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Pepper<\/a> to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. If you heat it too quickly or stop stirring, the mixture can scorch, and that will ruin the flavor of the cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add to Wet Ingredients:<\/strong> Pour the hot mixture over the flour mixture and whisk to combine.
