Description

This chocolate peanut butter cup dump cake is rich, moist, chocolaty, tasty, and so easy to make! 


Ingredients

Units

  • Milk: 1 and 1/2 cups
  • Chocolate Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25 ounces)
  • Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix: 1 small package (3.9 ounces)
  • Mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups: 1 and 1/2 cups
  • Coolwhip: 8 ounces
  • Peanut Butter: 1/4 cup, melted
  • Chocolate Syrup: 1/4 cup


Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Mix: Add the milk, cake mix, and pudding mix to the baking dish and mix with a fork until combined and then fold in 1 cup of peanut butter cups.
  3. Bake: Bake the dump cake in the preheated oven on the middle rack uncovered for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a cooling rack before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Serve: Evenly spread the Cool Whip on top and drizzle the peanut butter (that's slightly cooled) and chocolate sauce over top. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of peanut butter cups on top to garnish (I usually chop these ones in half)!

Notes

Ensure the cake is cooled completely or else the Cool Whip will melt.

The melted peanut butter should not be hot when drizzling, otherwise it will melt the Cool Whip too. 

Melting the peanut butter can be done in the microwave at 10-second intervals until it's melted. Then you can drizzle with a spoon or transfer to a sandwich ziplock bag and make a small cut at one of the corners to drizzle (like a piping bag).

It's recommended to chill the dump cake for 1 hour before serving to allow the Cool Whip to set and the peanut butter to harden.

To speed up cooling the cake, rest for 15 minutes, then transfer to the fridge.

Consider using the bake of a spoon to frost the cake. This will give it a delicious whipped look!
