Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (preferably devil’s food)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1/2 cup melted butter (real butter, measured after melting)
Additional Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy for smooth layers)
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: In a baking dish, evenly sprinkle the chocolate cake mix as the first layer.
- Add Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter over the cake mix layer; try to distribute it as evenly as possible to ensure each bite has creamy peanut butter.
- Pour Milk and Butter: In a separate bowl, combine the milk and melted butter, then slowly pour this mixture over the cake mix and peanut butter layers to saturate the dry mix and help it bake into a moist cake.
- Add Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips over the top, letting them melt and create gooey pockets of flavor throughout the cake.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly golden, with bubbling edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the layers set; serve warm for the gooeyest experience.
Notes
- Using real butter and whole milk enhances richness and flavor.
- Creamy peanut butter creates smoother layers, but crunchy can be used for texture.
- Mini peanut butter cups melt better than larger pieces and distribute flavor evenly.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, substitute milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- This cake can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
