Description

Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert combining the creamy flavors of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate and yellow cake mix. This easy-to-make, no-mixer-needed cake features layers of peanut butter cups, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk, all topped with buttery cake mix and baked to golden perfection. Perfect for peanut butter lovers seeking a decadent, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 1 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz)

Toppings

  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s or other peanut butter candies
  • Chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Layer Candy and Chocolate: Scatter the chopped mini peanut butter cups and chocolate chips evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish for a rich, chocolaty base.
  3. Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the candy and chocolate layer to add moisture and creamy sweetness.
  4. Distribute Peanut Butter: Dollop spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter evenly throughout the dish, creating pockets of peanut butter flavor.
  5. Top with Cake Mix: Sprinkle the yellow cake mix evenly over the peanut butter layer. Do not stir or mix; this will remain a layered dump cake.
  6. Pour Melted Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the dry cake mix to help it bake into a crispy, golden crust.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling around the edges.
  8. Cool and Garnish: Allow the cake to cool slightly before topping with extra chopped peanut butter candies. Drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • You can substitute peanut butter cups with your favorite peanut butter candy if preferred.
  • Ensure the peanut butter is creamy for easy dolloping and even distribution.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to let it set and simplify slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • This dessert is rich; a small serving size is recommended.
