Cordial Cherry Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Dice about 12 cherries.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, combine the cake mix (without the eggs and oil), the can of Dr. Pepper, the cherry juice, and the diced cherries. Mix well.
3. 3
   Pour the batter into a a lightly greased 9x13 pan. (Or you can make cupcakes, just be sure to use liners.)
4. 4
   Bake the cake at 350F until it is almost done, when a toothpick inserted comes out with a couple crumbs. (Use a bake time in accordance to instructions on the box.)
5. 5
   Let the cake cool completely.
6. 6
   When the cake is completely cooled, evenly spread the whipped cream over the top. It does not have to be neat.
7. 7
   Place 16 cherries on top of the cake in even rows, so that when the cake is cut, there will be a cherry in the middle of each piece.
