Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Add-ins
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, eggs, whole milk, and melted butter. Stir the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and fully blended.
- Fold in Peanut Butter Cups: Gently fold the chopped creamy peanut butter cups into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving, to enhance flavors and texture.
Notes
- You can add 1 cup of chocolate chips for extra chocolate flavor or omit them based on preference.
- Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let it set properly.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For a richer flavor, use creamy peanut butter cups rather than crunchy or miniature types.
