Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (devil’s food or any chocolate cake mix)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups milk (whole milk preferred for richness)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter (real butter, measured after melting)

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy preferred for smooth layers, crunchy works if desired)

Toppings

  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (milk chocolate chips can also be used)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Layer Cake Mix: Evenly spread the dry chocolate cake mix across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Do not add water or eggs; we are using the mix dry for texture layering.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Dollop spoonfuls of the peanut butter evenly over the cake mix layer. Spread gently if you want more uniform coverage but leaving dollops is fine too for pockets of peanut butter flavor.
  4. Pour Milk and Butter: In a bowl, combine the melted butter and milk. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake mix and peanut butter layers to moisten the cake mix and help it bake evenly.
  5. Top with Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly on top of the layered ingredients. These will melt into gooey pockets of flavor as the cake bakes.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and beginning to turn golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the cake should come out mostly clean but could have some melted peanut butter streaks.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving. This dessert is delicious warm, showcasing gooey peanut butter cups inside, but also tasty at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter if you prefer texture contrast in the dessert.
  • If you like a richer cake, use whole milk and real butter as suggested.
  • This cake stores well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—reheat gently before serving.
  • Mini peanut butter cups melt nicely and distribute sweet peanut butter flavor evenly.
  • For an extra touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
