Description

This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is a super easy, no-fuss dessert that combines instant pudding, chocolate cake mix, and chopped peanut butter cups for a rich, fudgy treat. With minimal equipment and simple steps, this moist and chocolatey cake is perfect for warm serving with ice cream or as a sweet snack. The thick batter bakes into a deliciously moist cake studded with pockets of melted peanut butter goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (3.9 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 (16.5 oz) box chocolate cake mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 1¾ cups milk

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped peanut butter cups (mini or regular-sized, roughly chopped)

Instructions

  1. Mix The Pudding And Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until fully blended and smooth.
  2. Add The Cake Mix: Stir in the chocolate cake mix until just combined and a thick batter forms; avoid overmixing.
  3. Fold In The Peanut Butter Cups: Roughly chop the peanut butter cups and gently fold them into the batter for varied-sized chocolate and peanut butter pockets.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough cake texture.
  • Chop peanut butter cups unevenly for pockets of melted peanut butter throughout.
  • The batter will be thick, which is normal for this recipe.
  • Start checking for doneness at 20 minutes; doneness is indicated by a clean skewer with a few moist crumbs.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  • You can freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before reheating.
