This is the easiest, fudgiest peanut butter cup dump cake that combines rich chocolate with creamy peanut butter in a decadent, moist dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (devil’s food or chocolate fudge)
  • 1 box instant pudding mix (chocolate)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter cups, chopped

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (whole, add more if needed)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
  2. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, and milk. Stir them together until well combined. Then, add the creamy peanut butter and mix until the batter is smooth and uniform in texture.
  3. Add Chocolate Bits: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups. If the batter seems too thick and difficult to mix, add a bit more milk to achieve a workable consistency.
  4. Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter into the greased 9×13 inch baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before serving. This helps the fudgy texture set and makes it easier to cut and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can use natural peanut butter but the texture might be a bit different.
  • Use whole milk for the best richness; skim or plant-based milk can be substituted, but will alter the flavor slightly.
  • If you want an extra fudgy texture, add an additional 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the batter before baking.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature is fine for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave to restore fudginess if refrigerated.
