This incredibly easy and fudgy Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake combines rich chocolate cake mix with creamy peanut butter, chocolate pudding, and chunks of peanut butter cups for a decadent dessert that requires minimal effort and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (devil’s food or chocolate fudge)
  • 1 box instant pudding mix (chocolate)

Wet Ingredients

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

Add-ins

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter cups (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix Bases: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, and milk. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the creamy peanut butter until it is fully integrated into the batter, resulting in a smooth, rich consistency.
  4. Fold in Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cups: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped peanut butter cups. Add a little extra milk if the batter feels too thick to mix easily.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. This will help the cake set and enhance the fudgy texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute crunchy peanut butter for a bit more texture if desired.
  • If using low-fat milk, you may want to add a teaspoon of oil to keep the cake moist.
  • Add extra chopped peanut butter cups on top before baking for a prettier presentation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use chocolate fudge cake mix.
