Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups milk

Add-ins

  • 1 package (8 oz) mini peanut butter cups, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to ensure the cake does not stick during baking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Pudding and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until fully combined and smooth, creating a rich base for the cake batter.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Add the chocolate cake mix to the pudding mixture and stir until the batter is thick and evenly blended. Do not worry about thickness; this consistency is ideal for the dump cake.
  4. Fold in Peanut Butter Cups: Roughly chop the mini peanut butter cups and gently fold them into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout for pockets of peanut butter flavor.
  5. Pour Batter into Dish: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula for uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, indicating the cake is done.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for contrast in temperature and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk if you prefer a dairy-free option.
  • For an extra gooey texture, you can gently press some additional peanut butter cups on top before baking.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to check doneness; avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the microwave before serving.
  • This cake is best enjoyed warm but can also be served at room temperature.
