   degrees for about 25 minutes or until cake tests done.
   About 5 minutes before the cake is done, start the frosting
   by heating together the margarine, cocoa and Dr. Pepper.
   Then stir in the nuts, vanilla and powdered sugar. Blend
   smooth. Spread evenly on the cake as soon as it is removed
   from the oven and is hot. This recipe makes very good
   cupcakes (about 36). From Mary Bowles, DNSR31A,from
