Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake that combines chocolate cake mix with creamy peanut butter and chocolate chips for a decadent dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, milk, melted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped mini peanut butter cups evenly over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a layer of crushed graham crackers on top of the batter before adding the chocolate chips and peanut butter cups.
- Substitute the chocolate cake mix with a yellow cake mix for a different flavor profile.
