Ingredients

Scale

Cake and Pudding Mixture

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

Add-ins

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking, and set it aside for later use.
  2. Mix Pudding and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and the milk until completely smooth and well combined. This ensures the pudding layer distributes evenly throughout the cake.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Stir in the chocolate cake mix into the pudding mixture. The batter will become thick and dense, which is ideal for this dump cake recipe as it holds all ingredients together perfectly.
  4. Fold in Peanut Butter Cups: Roughly chop the mini peanut butter cups and fold them gently into the thick batter, distributing the chocolate and peanut butter flavors throughout the cake.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, serve it warm alongside vanilla ice cream to complement the rich flavors.

Notes

  • Use non-stick spray or grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking.
  • The batter will be quite thick—this is expected and essential for texture.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts for added crunch.
  • Mini peanut butter cups can be substituted with regular-sized cups chopped into smaller pieces.
  • Serving warm with ice cream enhances the flavor experience.
