Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix for a rich, chocolatey base
- 1 cup peanut butter cups chopped (the star ingredient!)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter for that extra peanut butter flavor
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter sliced (for a gooey, buttery finish)
- 1/3 cup milk to keep the cake moist and luscious
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Peanut Butter Cups: Spread chopped peanut butter cups evenly across the bottom of the dish.
- Add the Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the peanut butter cups – no mixing required!
- Drizzle with Peanut Butter & Milk: Warm the peanut butter slightly to make it easier to pour, then drizzle it over the cake mix. Add the milk for extra moisture.
- Top with Butter: Scatter slices of butter across the surface to create a rich, golden topping.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the cake cool slightly before serving. For the ultimate treat, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Notes
- Don’t Stir: The magic of a dump cake lies in its layers – resist the urge to mix!
- Add Extra Peanut Butter Cups: More peanut butter? Always a good idea!
- Switch Up the Cake Mix: Try vanilla, yellow, or even a brownie mix for a new twist.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
