Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
For the Filling and Topping
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tub whipped topping
  • Chopped peanuts (for garnish)
  • Chocolate syrup (for drizzling)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and pour the batter evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon.
  5. In a bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely, then spread the whipped topping over it. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
  7. Before serving, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
  8. Slice and serve, enjoying the blend of chocolate and peanut butter.

Notes

If desired, use crunchy peanut butter for added texture or sugar-free condensed milk for a lighter option. Store covered in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
