Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped Reese's cups
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cake removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, creamy peanut butter, milk, and vegetable oil. Use an electric mixer or whisk vigorously to blend all ingredients until smooth and no dry cake mix remains.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it out to the edges and create an even surface.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips across the top of the batter, distributing them evenly to ensure each slice will have chocolate in every bite.
- Chop the Reese's cups into small, bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the chocolate chips, creating a delicious topping layer.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Optional: Garnish with additional chopped Reese's cups or a drizzle of melted peanut butter for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest batter possible.
- Don't overmix the cake batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- For extra richness, use a high-quality chocolate cake mix and creamy peanut butter.
- Want an even more indulgent dessert? Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a cleaner cut, use a plastic knife when slicing the cake to prevent sticking.
- If you like extra crunch, toast the chopped Reese's cups briefly before adding them to the cake.
- Check your cake a few minutes early - oven temperatures can vary, and you want to avoid overcooking.
