Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 box (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.4 ounces / 96 grams) chocolate instant pudding mix
Dairy:
- 1.75 cups (414 milliliters) milk
Chocolate and Peanut Butter:
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Coat a 13×9 inch (33×23 centimeters) baking dish with a generous layer of non-stick cooking spray.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, vigorously whisk the milk and chocolate instant pudding mix until they form a smooth, homogeneous blend. Incorporate the chocolate cake mix, stirring thoroughly until the mixture achieves a dense, rich consistency.
- Gently fold the roughly chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups throughout the batter, ensuring an even distribution of chocolatey-peanut butter morsels.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface, creating a uniform layer.
- Position the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. To verify doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean and free of raw batter.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cake to rest and slightly cool for a few minutes. This brief cooling period helps the cake set and intensifies its flavors.
- Slice and serve the cake either warm or at room temperature, relishing the decadent chocolate base punctuated with delightful peanut butter cup fragments in every delectable bite.
