Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup Dr. Pepper
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan. In a bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
- Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in sugar, Dr. Pepper, and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.

- In a saucepan, reduce Dr. Pepper over medium heat until slightly thickened. Add butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until icing reaches desired consistency.
