Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can substitute with crunchy peanut butter.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
For Serving
  • 1 cup whipped cream Optional for serving.

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. Mix until well combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the chocolate mix into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. While the cake is baking, in another bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until creamy.
  3. Once the cake is done, let it cool for about 10 minutes. Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a fork.
Layering
  1. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to ooze into the holes.
  2. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top and pour the milk over the cake.
Final Bake
  1. Return the cake to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to melt the chocolate chips.
Serving
  1. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Serve with whipped cream on top if desired.

Notes

For the best experience, serve this cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
