Description

This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is a simple, budget-friendly dessert made with chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding, milk, and chopped peanut butter cups. It’s a moist, fudgy cake that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter, perfect for an easy treat served warm or with ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz box of chocolate cake mix (any brand)
  • 3.4 oz box of instant chocolate pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (or any milk you have)

Add-ins

  • 8 oz mini peanut butter cups, roughly chopped (Reese’s or preferred brand)

Instructions

  1. Mix The Pudding And Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add The Cake Mix: Stir in the chocolate cake mix until the batter is thick and well blended. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender cake texture.
  3. Fold In The Peanut Butter Cups: Roughly chop the mini peanut butter cups and fold them gently into the batter, ensuring an even distribution of peanut butter pieces.
  4. Bake: Pour the thick batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool slightly before serving, though the cake is delicious warm.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a tough cake texture.
  • Chop peanut butter cups into uneven pieces to get pockets of melted peanut butter throughout the cake.
  • Start checking for doneness around 20 minutes as ovens vary.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or hot fudge sauce for extra indulgence.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  • This cake can be frozen for up to 3 months; wrap slices individually in plastic wrap and thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
