Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.

Stir in cocoa powder and Dr. Pepper until well blended and cooled slightly.
Whisk in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
