Description

This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is an incredibly easy and decadent chocolate dessert that combines instant pudding, chocolate cake mix, and chopped peanut butter cups. Simply mix the ingredients, pour into a baking dish, and bake for a fudgy, rich cake with pockets of melted peanut butter cups. Perfect for a quick, impressive treat with minimal equipment and fuss.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake Batter

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1¾ cups cold milk
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 10–12 peanut butter cups, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix The Pudding And Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add The Cake Mix: Stir in the chocolate cake mix gently until everything is well blended into a thick batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  3. Fold In The Peanut Butter Cups: Roughly chop the peanut butter cups and fold them evenly through the thick batter to get varied pockets of peanut butter throughout the cake.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool And Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. It’s delicious served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once combined to avoid a tough cake texture.
  • Chop the peanut butter cups into varied sizes for a fun texture with pockets of melted peanut butter.
  • The batter will be very thick; this is normal and bakes into a fudgy cake.
  • Check doneness starting at 20 minutes as oven temperatures can vary.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat slices briefly in the microwave.
  • You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months; wrap slices tightly and thaw before reheating.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor experience, optionally topped with ice cream.
