For the Cake

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; a little goes a long way for added depth!
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Provides that rich, creamy texture that everyone loves; crunchy peanut butter works great for added fun!
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk Essential for a luscious filling; no substitutions here, this is a must!
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Helps achieve the perfect consistency; can swap for almond or oat milk if needed.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Needed to create a fluffy, decadent topping; you can opt for a non-dairy substitute if required.

  • 1 cup Reese’s Cups Adds extra flavor and crunch on top; feel free to use your favorite chocolates or nuts instead!
  • ½ cup Chopped Peanuts For that delightful texture contrast; these are optional but highly recommended!

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures even cooking.
  2. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions, adding a splash of vanilla extract if desired.
  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk until smooth.
  5. Poke holes evenly across the surface of the warm cake.
  6. Slowly drizzle the peanut butter filling over the poke holes, allowing it to absorb.
  7. In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  8. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake.
  9. Garnish with chopped Reese's cups, crushed peanuts, and melted chocolate.
  10. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
