Description

This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is a rich and gooey dessert combining the flavors of chocolate fudge cake, creamy peanut butter, and mini peanut butter cups. It’s a quick and easy no-mix dessert layered and baked in a single dish, perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped mini peanut butter cups
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. This creates the creamy pudding layer base.
  3. Layer Pudding: Pour the pudding mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out to cover the bottom.
  4. Add Peanut Butter: Drop spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter evenly over the pudding layer. Try to distribute them for balanced peanut butter flavor throughout the cake.
  5. Top with Cake Mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate fudge cake mix evenly over the pudding and peanut butter layers. Do not stir; this allows the dump cake to form a delicious crust during baking.
  6. Drizzle Butter: Evenly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix layer. This helps moisten the cake and create a fudgy texture.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped mini peanut butter cups and semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top of the cake.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is set, bubbly around the edges, and the cake is cooked through.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle with warm fudge or caramel sauce.

Notes

  • The cake is rich and gooey, perfect when paired with vanilla ice cream.
  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
  • Add a drizzle of warm fudge or caramel sauce before serving for extra decadence.
