Ingredients
Scale
Base and Wet Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 1/2 cups milk
Peanut Butter Layer and Toppings
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup mini peanut butter cups
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your dump cake.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish well to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Spread Peanut Butter: Evenly spread 1 cup of peanut butter across the bottom of the greased baking dish, creating a rich, creamy base layer.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and milk until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Pour Batter: Carefully pour the chocolate cake batter over the peanut butter layer in the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter for extra bursts of chocolate and peanut butter flavor.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool before serving to let the layers set and to enjoy the full flavor and texture of the dessert.
Notes
- Use smooth or crunchy peanut butter based on your preference, but smooth peanut butter will blend more evenly.
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- You can substitute mini peanut butter cups with chopped regular-sized cups if mini ones are unavailable.
- Be careful not to overbake to keep the cake moist and tender.
- This recipe works well for potlucks or quick gatherings as it requires minimal prep and one bowl.
